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 COVID19 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, re-organisation
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 ¨C 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.

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.
