It was reported that, although CAPS training was arranged, many teachers did not attend due to interruptions by the provincial SADTU. The Department indicated that teachers who did not attend would receive training at the beginning of February 2013. LSTM had been received but there was a shortage of textbooks in subjects such as Agricultural Science and Accounting. The Committee urged the school to determine how many books were requisitioned and how many were received and report shortages to the department as a matter of urgency.
