25 years of training doctors at WSU: how have we responded to the 1983 UNITRA Council Guidelines?

- Description: More importantly, Mr VC, Sir, some relatively more recent improvisations have been in the roles I have played in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the Problem-based, and Community-based MB ChB curriculum at the then UNITRA (and now WSU) from 1989 to date4-33; particularly my successful introduction of ‘one tutor per tutorial group’ in our programme8,10,12,14. As I will elaborate in due course, one of the secrets of our success as a medical school has been the adaptation of ideas and practices from diverse parts of the world to make them fit in our settings; and needless to say, this has involved a lot of improvisation.

Towards creating a legally literate WSU community for today and tomorrow

- Description: Legal literacy has been gaining significance in literature in recent years as can be seen from several publications, for example, amongst others, Van Wyk (1983), White (1983), Barrell and Partington (1985), Kawatoko (1995), Andretta (2001), Fischer, Schimmel and Stellman (2003), Oosthuizen (2003), Barry (2006), Hasl-Kelchner (2006), and Schimmel and Militello (2007). In 1948, the world community spoke through the United Nations by establishing a framework for human rights awareness and protection with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). In 1987, several Commonwealth associations founded the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) to promote human rights issues. CHRI’s International Right to Information (RTI) Program focuses on monitoring and supporting the push for recognition and implementation of the right to information throughout the 53 states of the Commonwealth and the institutions of the Commonwealth itself. Generally, legal literacy efforts focus on human rights. It was originally used in a context where citizens, particularly from the marginalized or underprivileged groups, were made to know what the law had to offer them so that they could recognise and challenge injustices much more forcefully. The first step towards that knowledge of the law, which can transform people’s lives, is legal literacy. Legal literacy puts one in the driver’s seat of risk management. Generally, legal literacy efforts focus on human rights.
