PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD

The qualifying learner achieving this unit standard in combination with context expertise standard(s) will be able to explain different sanitation systems and the relation between sanitation and water quality management. This competence will enable the learner to explain appropriate sanitation options to community members including the advantages and disadvantages of each option. This will enable the community to make informed decisions on sanitation and hygiene issues, which will benefit all community members. Achieving this unit standard will provide foundational learning that will advance his / her own expertise and employability in the water and other related sectors.

REREGISTRATION HISTORY

As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this unit standard was Reregistered in 2012; 2015.

UNIT STANDARD NOTES

When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the unit standards being assessed. Assessors must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge by developing assessment activities and tools, which are appropriate to the contexts in which the learners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment. It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together in an integrated way, thus reducing the overall number of assessments and ensuring that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment.

ASSESSMENT OPTION
Learners could be assessed using the following methods:
Oral or written questions
