History

In the late sixties, Kutlwanong Township had four primary Schools, Icoseng Thusanong, Marobe and Impucuko. When learners passed STD 6 with a second class, to further their studies they either had to go to Lebogang High School in Thabong (Welkom) or to a boarding school elsewhere.

There was a dire need for a secondary school in Kutlwanong. Meeting after meeting was held to address this issue, until a delegation of concerned parents and school committee members approached the Circuit Inspector's Office to request a secondary school. There were neither physical nor human resources available, however, there were learners who could not continue with their high school education because of financial constraints or because they had passed with a "Third class." In 1970 this group of learners was sent to Lebogang High School to start a high school and because of the perseverance of the parents the school was named Phehello.

A proper Library, Laboratory House Craft Center and more and better class rooms were added to the original building. Waterborne toilets and electricity were installed in the school.

In many countries' curricula, social studies is the combined study of humanities, the arts, and social sciences, mainly including history, economics, and civics. The term was first coined by American educators around the turn of the twentieth century as a catch-all for these subjects, as well as others which did not fit into the models of lower education in the United States such as philosophy and psychology. One of the purposes of social studies, particularly at the level of higher education, is to integrate several disciplines, with their unique methodologies and special focuses of concentration, into a coherent field of subject areas that communicate with each other by sharing different academic "tools" and perspectives for deeper analysis of social problems and issues. Social studies aims to train students for informed, responsible participation in a diverse democratic society. The content of social studies provides the necessary background knowledge in order to develop values and reasoned opinions, and the objective of the field is civic competence. A related term is humanities, arts, and social sciences, abbreviated HASS.

Mastery learning is an instructional strategy and educational philosophy, first formally proposed by Benjamin Bloom in 1968. Mastery learning maintains that students must achieve a level of mastery in prerequisite knowledge before moving forward to learn subsequent information. If a student does not achieve mastery on the test, they are given additional support in learning and reviewing the information and then tested again. This cycle continues until the learner accomplishes mastery, and they may then move on to the next stage. In a self-paced online learning environment, students study the material and take assessments. If they make mistakes, the system provides insightful explanations and directs them to revisit the relevant sections. They then answer different questions on the same material, and this cycle repeats until they reach the established mastery threshold. Only then can they move on to subsequent learning modules, assessments, or certifications.
