Accountancy

I haven't blogged for while - Why? because I have been quite busy editing DVD's and workbooks for the Matric accountancy lessons, produced by the SABC Learning Channel. There are 30 lessons in total and these will be distributed (for a small fee) to schools and learners so they can study for their final exams.

Now, the idea of studying accountancy crops up quite often during the lessons - it appears that learners complain that they cannot "study" accountancy. The presenters get quite excited when they have a formula or ratio for the learners to "study". Does this mean they can memorise this part - yes, I think it does. Surely, study also implies learning and understanding and not just memorising? And how do you do this? By going over the exercises, practising the exercises and understanding them and understanding how to apply the concepts. You can study accountancy!

And on this note - I will even go as far as saying that accountancy is like riding a bicycle - once you know it you can always do it.........
