Besides the indications of positive preparations towards school readiness for 2013, the oversight visits have highlighted areas that need to be strengthened. These include the lack of the necessary CAPS training in some districts and the persistent shortage of textbooks and workbooks, despite major strides provinces and the DBE made this year in the delivery of textbooks. Other areas highlighted that need attention include post provisioning in some provinces, the non-implementation of ANA as a diagnostic tool to improve learner performance, the late admission of learners and the non-functionality of the QLTC in many schools visited.
