PROGRAMME TWO : SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT POLICY STATEMENTS : • In preparation for the implementation of CAPS in Grades 4 to 6 in 2013,

all district officials responsible for teacher training and support in these grades have been orientated to the changes in the CAPS subject statements. This took place from the 6th February until 25th March. The only province that still needs to be taken through the orientation programme is Eastern Cape, which will be done in May 2012. A total of 968 district officials were taken through the orientation programme in the Intermediate Phase.

• The Directorate: Curriculum Implementation and Quality Improvement (FET) conducted Grade 11 CAPS Orientation from February 2012 to 29 March 2012. The DBE identified Subject Advisors from different provinces to establish a National Training Team (NTT) that assisted with the Grade 11 CAPS Orientation. The Orientation started with a dry-run which took place from the 6 to 8 February 2012 in preparation for the actual orientation.

1818



LEARNING AND TEACHING SUPPORT MATERIALS :• Workbooks and Textbooks : 53 616 390 Volume 1 & 2 workbooks were

developed and printed. Proof of deliveries (PODs) for all Volume 1 & 2 were provided by the service provider and verified by an external auditor for payment is as follows:

o 98.74 percent of Grade R-9 volume 1 workbooks as per the order delivered ;o 97.25 percent of Grade 1-9 volume 2 workbooks as per order delivered; ando 97.36 percent of FET schools Physical Science & Mathematics supplementary textbooks

as per order.

• Minimum Schoolbag Specifications : CAPS documents for all subjects and grades to determine the required LTSM combinations were reviewed and draft lists of minimum LTSM for each grade and subject have been specified. The intended outcome is to establish a full model of essential resources needed for each subject and learner, which would act as a guide for school management and teachers, provide the basis for budget forecasts, and inform teacher training initiatives by making explicit what resources teachers should expect to have at their disposal.

1919



e-EDUCATION : • The DG and provincial HODs signed the Telkom Masters Services

Agreement on 27 March 2012 for the phase 1 implementation of the Connectivity Plan. This initiative will provide connectivity to 1 650 schools for a period of 3 years. The agreement will also see the development of an educational VPN hosted by Telkom and access to Britannica by all selected schools.

ASSESSMENTS : • Assessment in Grade 7 to 9 has been strengthened with the provision of

Assessment Item Banks that teachers will use either for assessment or to model their own school-based assessment.

CAPS MONITORING :• Implementation of the Foundation Phase is being monitored in a sample

of schools. Feedback from the monitoring has been used to plan support materials for Mathematics and Languages.
