Abstract:
In the main report of the HRCS and its Head Committee entitled "The Provision
of Education in the RSA", it is stated that the effective provision of vocational
guidance is of extreme importance, and that it has to be provided on a
national level.
In order to present guidelines for effective vocational orientation, it is
necessary to evaluate the existing theory and practice if considerations for
possible improvements can become clear.
In professor Joubert's inaugural lecture, evaluative criteria of the following
nature are inter alia proposed:
• Scientific
• Educative
• Regarding the particular discipline (Vocational orientation)
• Educational management
• Effective training
• Life view considerations
The effective training of personnel for vocational orientation and the establishment
of vocational guidance centers on a national level are inter alia stated as
main priorities.
