OBE for FET Consumer Studies equips learners to become responsible consumers who are aware of their rights and expect and insist on service and product excellence. It also empowers them to become entrepreneurs who produce and market their own goods. Four modules cover the three prescribed areas: Food and Nutrition, Clothing, and Housing and Furnishing, allowing learners to make an informed choice about the area in which they could specialise and pursue a career. Learners find out about the rights and responsibilities of the consumer through focused activities and research projects. The series seeks to educate learners to generally uplift and streamline their home and community environments. At the same time it promotes attitudes that respect human rights and inclusivity, as well as conservation of the environment.
