Foreword

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 Director Mauritius Institute of Education

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.

Values and Citizenship Education - Pupil’s Activity Book

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.

Values and Citizenship Education - Pupil’s Activity Book

This Values and Citizenship Education Pupil’s Workbook of Grade 2 has been designed to provide opportunities for pupils to develop positive attitudes and values to better understand themselves and to become respectful and responsible citizens. The proposed activities and learning experiences provide a platform for pupils to express themselves, develop their character, beliefs and behaviour, and cultivate respect for others. The Pupil’s Workbook includes lessons which are based on learning outcomes derived from the National Curriculum Framework. Educators are advised to adapt and/or supplement the activities and use the Teacher’s Book in order to implement each lesson in a way to optimise the learning experiences of pupils.The Values and Citizenship Education Panel hopes that pupils will enjoy the different activities proposed in this book.
