1 INTRODUCTION

The COVID-19 lockdown has created a unique situation which has disrupted the school calendar, thus, impacting on the implementation of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) for the 2020 academic year. To mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on teaching and learning, the Department of Basic Education (DBE) working in collaboration with Provincial Education Departments (PEDs), has put together a framework for curriculum recovery. The framework, which was consulted on with key stakeholders in the sector, proposed curriculum re-organisation and trimming as one of the strategies to create opportunities for curriculum recovery.

The proposed school recovery plan entails in the main recovery of the lost time, reorganisation and trimming of the Annual Teaching Plans (ATPs), restructuring of assessment tasks and the creation of the required enabling conditions to ensure a safe and secure return of learners to school. Despite these initiatives, the combined effect of the phased in approach and rotational timetabling has significantly impacted on teaching and learning time.

In addition, the extended closure of schools has prompted the Department of Basic Education to revise the promotion requirements in the General Education and Training (GET) and the Further Education and Training (FET) for the year 2020. Accordingly, in the FET phase the stipulations regarding Grade 10 and 11 made in paragraphs 29 of the policy document, National Policy pertaining to the Programme and Promotion Requirements of the National Curriculum Statement Grades, R-12, were revised for the year 2020 to ensure that no learner is unfairly disadvantaged. It is important to note that the dispensation provided for in this document (Guidelines on the Revised Promotion Requirements, Grade 10 ? 11) is an interim measure and will only apply in 2020.

This document is to be read in conjunction with Circular S7 of 2020. The circular makes provision for the following amended promotional requirements:

a) The current 25% weighting of School Based Assessment (SBA) is increased to 60% and the examination component which is currently 75% is decreased to 40% resulting in a 60:40 weighting as opposed to the current 25:75 weighting.

b) In the case of subjects with a practical component, allocate 20% of the examination component to the PAT.

c) In the case of Languages, 12,5 % of the examination component (First Additional Language and Home Language) and 25% (Second Additional Language) should be allocated to Orals.

d) The full-scale examinations in Grade 10 and 11 be replaced by a Controlled Test. e) Controlled tests should only be set on content taught, content not taught cannot be

assessed. f) The controlled test to cover a substantial portion of the curriculum taught (preferably

work covered in all terms, wherever possible). g) The Controlled Test must adhere to a prescribed standard in terms of content

coverage and must be administered under controlled conditions. h) The cognitive spread of the Controlled Test must adhere to the determinations of each

subject as outlined in the Abridged Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement, Section 4. i) All controlled tests must adhere to the protocols for pre and post moderation to ensure compliance with standards. j) Fundamental subjects (Languages and Mathematics/Mathematical Literacy) will offer the required number of papers with a reduced duration. k) All elective subjects to reduce the number of papers to one (1) Controlled Test per subject. l) The duration of the Grade 11 Controlled Tests will be two hours, containing components of both papers, where applicable, while the duration of the Grade 10 Controlled Tests will be one hour, containing components of both papers, where applicable. m) No common examinations / tests in grade 10 and 11. n) National Subject committees will outline the composition of the 60% and the 40% in terms of components, marks etc.
