NeftalyCHAR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN – 2026

To the Chairperson of Neftaly Kingdom Royal Committee Mr. Clifford Legodi, all Neftaly Kingdom Royal Committee Members, Neftaly Royal Chiefs and all Neftaly Human Capital.

Kgotso a ebe le lena.

1. Executive Summary

Our mission is to deliver a comprehensive suite of 15 Funded and 5 Non-Funded courses. By leveraging a specialized 3-person Human Capital team, we map technical expertise against rigorous compliance standards. This plan ensures that every learner is not only trained but also “captured” within the digital evidence ecosystem required by our funders.

2. Course Categorization & Scope

The curriculum is divided into two distinct streams to ensure that funded mandates are met without neglecting community-based non-funded programs.

Stream A: Funded Programs (Priority Compliance)

Information Technology: Computer Training, Network Engineering, Systems Development, Technical/Systems Support.
Business & Management: Bookkeeping, Project Management, Entrepreneurship, Data Capturing.
Creative & Design: Graphic Design.
Social & Life Skills: Life Skills, Life Skills/S2S, Advice and Referral.

Stream B: Non-Funded Programs (Community Impact)

Advice, Referral & Paralegal Services.
Programming & Technical Support.
Web Development & Computer Skills / Web Design.
HIV/AIDS Awareness.

3. Human Capital Mapping (The Royal Team)

We utilize a “Triad Model” where each member holds a specific pillar of the implementation sheet.

I. Linda: The Academic & Quality Lead

Role Alignment: Linda is the primary driver of the “Instruction” column on the implementation sheet.

Technical Execution: Conducts theoretical and practical sessions for high-complexity courses (Network Engineering, Systems Development).
The “Paper Trail”: She doesn’t just teach; she prepares Assessor Reports and Meeting Minutes, which are the legal backbone of funded projects.
Intervention: Identifies student learning challenges, ensuring our “Completion Rate” (a key funded KPI) remains high.

II. Dube: The Operational & Compliance Specialist

Role Alignment: Dube manages the “Data & Evidence” columns.

S2S Academy Management: Directly assists students with the S2S program, ensuring seamless digital learning.
Evidence Custodian: Handles the heavy lifting of scanning registers and uploading photo/video evidence to OneDrive.
Statistical Reporting: Translates daily attendance into the Training Reports required for funding drawdowns.

III. Project Lead: Strategy & Governance

Role Alignment: This role bridges the gap between the classroom and the Funder.

Policy Compliance: Ensures all activities align with Education and Training policies.
Quality Assurance: Audits the work of Linda (Assessments) and Dube (Statistics) to ensure zero errors in reporting.
Sustainable Integration: Manages the Non-Funded stream to ensure it doesn’t detract from Funded obligations.

4. Operational Workflow (The Implementation Cycle)

To manage 20 courses with 3 people, we follow a synchronized weekly cycle:

Phase 1 (The Intake): Dube registers students and sets up profiles on the Education System.
Phase 2 (The Delivery): Linda facilitates the sessions while Dube captures live evidence (photos/videos).
Phase 3 (The Upload): Dube scans registers; Linda marks tasks and updates the system.
Phase 4 (The Report): The Lead compiles the statistics for the final weekly “Royal” Performance Report.

5. Detailed Weekly Schedule: The Royal Standard

This schedule ensures 100% coverage of the 20 proposed courses.

Staff Member: Linda (Facilitator/Assessor)

Time Block	Monday – Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
08:00 – 13:00	Core Facilitation: Network Engineering / Systems Dev / Computer Skills	Practical Lab: Technical Support & Graphic Design sessions	Academic Admin: Marking assessment tasks & feedback
13:00 – 16:00	Business Block: Bookkeeping & Project Management	Student Support: 1-on-1 interventions for struggling learners	Documentation: Compiling Assessor Reports & Minutes

Staff Member: Dube (Operations/S2S)

Time Block	Monday – Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
08:00 – 13:00	S2S Academy: Active student support and profile management	Evidence Collection: Scanning registers from all sessions	Reporting: Compiling the weekly Training Report
13:00 – 16:00	Registration: Onboarding new students for Funded/Non-Funded	Digital Filing: Uploading photos/videos to OneDrive	Stats: Finalizing the weekly attendance statistics

Staff Member: Project Lead (Strategy/Oversight

Time Block	Monday – Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
08:00 – 13:00	Compliance Watch: Reviewing adherence to training policies	Internal Audit: Verifying Dube’s registers against Linda’s profiles	Funder Liaison: Submitting weekly progress to stakeholders
13:00 – 16:00	Non-Funded Stream: Managing HIV/AIDS & Paralegal program flow	Quality Check: Reviewing marked assessments for accuracy	Strategic Review: Planning the upcoming week’s curriculum

6. Risk Mitigation & Compliance

Evidence Loss: Dube’s role includes a daily OneDrive sync to ensure no data is lost.
Assessment Backlog: Linda has dedicated “Friday Blocks” for marking to ensure feedback is never delayed.
Audit Readiness: By separating the Facilitator (Linda) from the Statistician (Dube), we create a “Check and Balance” system that prevents fraudulent reporting.

To reach these ambitious targets within the 3-month period (January – March 2026), we must implement a high-velocity throughput strategy. With the addition of Itu, we now have a “Double-Stream” delivery model, allowing us to run two specialized classes simultaneously while Dube handles the massive S2S data flow.

1. Target Breakdown Table (Jan – Mar 2026)

Funder	Program	Total Target	3-Month (Q1) Goal	Monthly Avg
DSD	Computer, Network, Bookkeeping, Systems Dev	240	60	20
DSD	Life Skills	600	150	50
Accenture	Life Skills / S2S	2500	625	208
Accenture	Advice & Referral	500	125	42
Accenture	ICT & Business Modules	450	112	37
Modular	Advice, Programming, Web, HIV/AIDS	610	152	51
Modular	Certificate Logistics	600	600	Once-off

2. 3-Month Achievement Strategy

To hit these numbers, we will use three specific “Engines”:

Engine A: The S2S Mass-Processor (Led by Dube & Itu)

The Target: 625 S2S learners in 3 months.
How we reach it: We will treat the first hour of every day (09:00 – 10:00) as the “S2S Portal.”
Tactics: Dube handles the registration and login profiles for 15-20 new learners daily. Itu provides technical support in the lab to ensure they complete their digital modules. This ensures we hit the 208 per month requirement without interfering with afternoon technical classes.

Engine B: The Technical Rotation (Led by Linda & Itu)

The Target: 20 Networking/Systems Dev and 37 Accenture ICT learners monthly.
How we reach it: Using the parallel teaching method.
Tactics: * Room 1 (Linda): Focuses on DSD high-compliance courses (Bookkeeping/Systems Dev).
- Room 2 (Itu): Focuses on Creative/Tech (Graphic Design/Web Design/Computer Training).
- By splitting the technical courses, we double our capacity to 40 learners per time block instead of 20.

Engine C: The Logistics Blitz (Led by Project Lead & Dube)

The Target: 600 Certificates delivered.
How we reach it: Dedicated “Logistics Fridays.”
Tactics: During February, every Friday from 13:00 to 16:00 is designated for certificate sorting and courier dispatch. Dube scans the collection registers as evidence immediately to satisfy Modular Mining’s requirements.

3. Monthly Milestone Roadmap

Month 1: January (Foundation & Onboarding)

Focus: Launching the S2S platform and enrolling the first 210 Accenture learners.
Key Action: Start the DSD Computer Training and Life Skills blocks as per the calendar (09:00-11:00).
Compliance: Dube ensures all Jan registers are uploaded to OneDrive by Jan 30th.

Month 2: February (Peak Production)

Focus: High-intensity technical delivery.
Key Action: Linda ramps up Network Engineering and Systems Development. Itu begins the Graphic Design and Web Design cohorts.
Certificate Blitz: Start the once-off 600 certificate delivery process for Modular Mining.

Month 3: March (Assessment & Close-out)

Focus: Finalizing Portfolios of Evidence (PoE).
Key Action: Linda and Itu focus on marking and “Assessor Reports” to ensure all learners are graded.
Reporting: The Project Lead compiles the Q1 DSD Quarterly Report and the Accenture Quarterly Milestone Report for submission.

4. How the “Core Four” Team hits the targets

Member	Contribution to the Numbers
Linda	Ensures the 172 specialized learners (Networking/Systems/Project Mgmt) are competent and graded.
Itu	Manages the ICT & Creative volumes (Web, Graphics, Computers) and assists with S2S technical lab flow.
Dube	The “Data Machine”—he is responsible for the 2,500 S2S entries and the scanning of 100% of registers.
Project Lead	The “Closer”—audits the evidence to ensure 100% of the 4,440 targets are legally defensible for funding.

5. Risk Mitigation

If attendance is low: Dube will flag “At-Risk” learners by Wednesday each week.
If power/internet fails: Itu will have “Offline Theory” modules ready for the Computer Training classes so that no instructional time is lost.
Load Balancing: If Linda is overwhelmed with marking, Itu will take over the “Advice and Referral” sessions to free up her time.

Neftaly How do I set up a grading system within the LMS, including rubrics and automated grading?

Defining Grading Scales

A grading scale is a set of criteria that outlines how scores translate into grades. Here’s how to define a grading scale:

Determine Grade Levels: Decide on the grades you want to use (e.g., A, B, C, D, F) or percentage ranges (e.g., 90-100%, 80-89%, etc.).
Assign Point Ranges: Allocate point ranges to each grade level. For instance:
- A: 90-100 points
- B: 80-89 points
- C: 70-79 points
- D: 60-69 points
- F: Below 60 points
Weighting: Assign weights to different components of the course (e.g., assignments 30%, quizzes 20%, participation 10%, exams 40%). This determines how much each component contributes to the final grade.

Creating Rubrics

Rubrics provide a clear framework for evaluating assignments and projects. Here’s a detailed process for creating rubrics:

Identify Evaluation Criteria: Determine the aspects you’ll assess (e.g., content accuracy, creativity, grammar, adherence to guidelines).
Define Performance Levels: Create a performance scale (e.g., excellent, good, satisfactory, needs improvement) with point values.
Describe Each Level: Provide detailed descriptions for each criterion at every performance level. This ensures transparency and consistency.

Example Rubric for a Research Paper

Criteria	Excellent (4 points)	Good (3 points)	Satisfactory (2 points)	Needs Improvement (1 point)
Content Accuracy	Information is accurate and thorough.	Information is mostly accurate.	Information is somewhat accurate.	Information is inaccurate.
Research Depth	Extensive research with strong evidence.	Adequate research with good evidence.	Limited research with some evidence.	Insufficient research.
Organization	Well-organized with clear structure.	Good organization.	Somewhat organized.	Lacks organization.
Grammar and Style	Free from grammar and spelling errors.	Few errors.	Several errors.	Numerous errors.
Adherence to Guidelines	Fully adheres to guidelines.	Mostly adheres to guidelines.	Somewhat adheres to guidelines.	Does not adhere to guidelines.

Implementing Automated Grading

Automated grading helps streamline the evaluation process for quizzes and assignments that can be graded objectively. Here’s how to set it up:

Quizzes and Exams:
- Multiple-Choice Questions: Input correct answers and assign point values.
- True/False Questions: Define the correct answers.
- Short Answer Questions: Set up key phrases or keywords for automated grading.
Assignments and Projects:
- While not fully automated, using rubrics can expedite the grading process. Instructors can quickly select performance levels for each criterion.

Steps to Set Up the Grading System in Neftaly LMS

Access Grading Settings:
- Navigate to the course settings and access the grading section.
Define Grading Scales:
- Input the grading scales and point ranges for each grade level.
Create and Add Rubrics:
- Use the rubric creation tool to define criteria, performance levels, and point values.
- Attach rubrics to specific assignments and projects.
Configure Automated Grading:
- Set up quizzes and exams with automated grading options.
- Define correct answers and point values for each question type.
Assign Weighting:
- Allocate weights to different course components (e.g., assignments, quizzes, exams).
Test the Grading System:
- Conduct a pilot test with a small group of learners to identify any issues.
- Gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.

Providing Guidelines to Learners

Ensure that learners understand the grading system:
