Tipsters
Because of several reasons (political, historical and otherwise) our
National Department of Education in South Africa has decided that
the term "student" should be replaced with "learner". We were
informed that this is "an international trend" and that we should
therefore rather use the term "learner" in our lectures, writings,
publications, etc.
To what extent is this really an international trend? Or is it only
one of those fads?
Thanks
Dap
