FOREWORD I am pleased to present the new set of Holistic Education Programme (HEP) textbooks for Educators and pupils. Holistic education is the essential component of a sound education system. It complements the formal curriculum to ensure that the growing Mauritian child is provided with opportunities for his/her overall development as a responsible individual and citizen. With the added impetus given to HEP in the context of the Nine-Year Continuous Basic Education (NYCBE) reform and subsequently in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), HEP has come to be appreciated as a subject that caters for the full development of the child, namely academically, physically, emotionally and creatively. Curriculum materials are key to enabling the effective translation of the curriculum in the teaching and learning process. It is thus imperative that they remain current to the times and relevant to the needs of Educators and learners. This new set of textbooks is the result of an evaluation exercise conducted at the end of the first cycle of implementation together with key stakeholders. The feedback received has been central in reconceptualising the approach and content of the materials now being offered. Changes have been effected at the levels of the approach and content to counter challenges previously encountered and enhance teaching and learning experiences. The main changes involve adopting a thematic approach that brings out the interconnection between the different components of HEP; an integrated approach that cuts down on duplication and allows the optimal use of teaching time; different textbooks that are aligned with the requirements of the users; and the provision of activities to be conducted during teaching blocks to ease implementation. Much effort has been invested in producing these new materials within stringent timelines. I must place on record the effort and dedication of all those who have made it possible, namely the Panel Coordinators and panel members, the Graphic Designers and the staff of the Curriculum Unit. A special word of thanks goes to all stakeholders who participated in the evaluation exercise and provided feedback that allowed us to enhance the resources. I hope that our learners reap the benefit of all the effort put in and undergo enjoyable experiences while learning. Prof. (Dr) Vassen Naëck Ag. Director Mauritius Institute of Education
