Hairdressing and office admin part of new subjects to be offered in schools

[Mike Angelo]

What does a fail in a hairdressing exam look like?

Maybe like an explosion in a dynamite factory

Describe in detail how you prepare the client's hair for braids.

Hairdressing and office admin part of new subjects to be offered in schools

The department said it plans to introduce new subjects for Grades 10 and 12 by 2025 to improve their chances at employment after matric.

Should have have added emigration subject

I was referring to the practical exam.

I would assume it involves some mannequin and you demonstrating your abilities, the use of hairdressing equipment, housekeeping/ safety and all of that.

My girlfriend back in the day in hairdressing school had to bring in a volunteer, they didn't use mannequins. The funny I was trying to make was what the person will look like after a fail.

Office admin. In SA the reality you sleep with the boss to get a job. Learn to suck up, have unquestionable loyalty and turn a blind eye to corruption.

I dunno, spose you can learn quite a bit from hair dressing -

F'rinstance -
1. The art of waxing
2. Geography - Brazil, capital Brasilia as in Brazilian?
3. Anatomy - nuff said.
4. Synonyms - for example, "This makes my cat itchy" .........

5. Diesel supply to eskom

Business and communication skills will also help because that is the difference between being a hairdresser and being a hairdresser who makes a lot of money.

In my opinion, hairdresser that makes lot of money usually has a point of sale machine that is usually out of order.

In my case, those subjects only went up to std 8, so no, it wasn’t an option.

Not in Technical High Schools. Carpentry and draughtsmanship (Technical drawing) were matric subjects. Even on the higher grade.

Nope. A girl in the practical classes had her hair done by classmates as Purdey in the Avengers (Joanna Lumley) did when I mentioned I found Purdey's hairstyle great. You're too young and won't have a clue so here's a pic:

They start on mannequins. You're not going to pull a student out of a class and put them in front of an expensive piece of machinery to fix. I presume the same is done with hair. Some form of proficiency in dealing with different hair types and textures before handling real humans.

I do know the woman, she was recently doing some travel show, but it's not my style, I find it too common.

You already do these sorts of subject in a technical school...why mainstream it?
FFS the ANC is determined to stuff up education to the point it cannot be recovered.

What is the problem though? I don't see how anyone would be disadvantaged?

No problem, but you have technical schools that cater for this.

It was called a mushroom when I was growing up and there was a time when everyone was doing it, most R&B, kwaito and pretty much every American actress had it.

R&B and Kwaito was around in the 1970s?

Yes, all underground, banned by the regime. I should introduce you to some rare and unreleased kwaito material from those days when I have time.
