Challenges

Challenges Systemic Number of learners progressing each year Declining performance in Grades and Subjects Variance of exam and School based assessment Quality of passes Learners poor exam techniques School Based challenges Underperformance of schools with high enrolment Poor performance of learners in the early grades resulting is progression Superficial Syllabus coverage Minimum use of available interventions (diagnostic reports) Social challenges Loss of teaching time: Communities disrupting schools and therefore minimising teaching time

Improvement Strategies

Progress with Curriculum delivery All subjects were provided with the Annual Teaching Plans (ATP) for 2018 The plans are paced to cover the curriculum scope for grade 12 as follows: 50% in term 1 30% in term 2 20% in term 3 (to allow for revision in the fourth term) All grades received common Program of Assessment to ensure coverage Common Mid-year exams to ensure standardized assessment Schools affected by protests developed plans to recover lost time to prepare learners for exams

Enrichment Camps Winter camps in 84 centres across the province In areas where schools were disrupted for over a long period or burned the Grade 12 learners were taken to special camps from the 1st June to 22 June and will resume again on the 16 July 2018 4 Secondary schools in the Manthe cluster in Greater Taung attended 3 weeks of vacation camp to catch up the lost time Some camps are used to further recover lost contact time, while others are for intensive revision All learners sit for pre- and post-tests for all subjects to measure the extent of content gap and the impact of teaching The camps are catering for: 28751 learners from Underperforming schools, progressed learners and Technical schools 480 learners for Talent development, GLIP and Thuthuka This translates into 83.7% of the total Grade 12 enrolment All centres monitored by the Province and National

Enrichment Camps The following categories catered for: Under performing schools ( for all underperforming subjects and those that did not have teachers for some time) UNW camp (for 1052 learners offering Commerce, Science and Mathematics) Talent Development Camp (collaboration with Stellenbosch University for Grade 11 and 12 learners with potential in Mathematics and Physical Science) Progressed learners (to drill them on content links and easy to score marks per subject) Girl learner camps ( Gifted Girl learners in Grade 12) Thuthuka camps (Girls and boys with potential in Accounting and Mathematics) Technical schools camps (to work on the poor performance of Technical Science and Technical Mathematics)

Accountability Sessions The province conducts accountability sessions per district In each of the sessions the following strategies are shared: Ensuring realistic targets per subject per Grade Managing both high enrolled schools and subjects Tracking Syllabus coverage Implementation of English Across the Curriculum Formal and Informal Assessment Subject specific improvement plans Progressed learner interventions

Interventions Mathematical Literacy, Economics, Accounting, Business Studies, Geography and English with revision booklets provided for teachers to incorporate all content constituting the final examination Subject specific materials developed to assist learners with strategies to perform well in easy to score marks per paper Each district assigned a quota for the inclusive basket of criteria Parents engaged to: Encourage our learners to ensure a full pass in the lower grades, to ensure better grades Track learner performance Ensure structured study programmes Follow up submission of all projects, assignments and practical work

Interventions cont… Schools Track each subject targets for accountability Ensure that targets set on average to enable learners a good chance of meeting the pass requirements Ensure good informal assessments Assist learners to obtain the minimum pass requirements Utilise the mind the gap guides and revision booklets as supplementary materials to drill learners for examinations Adherence to the diagnostic reports on topics that challenge most learners and assist them in that regard Ensure that formal tasks are properly controlled to avoid SBA rejections
