In the district visited in Limpopo, many teachers had not yet received CAPS training in preparation for implementation in Grade 11 in 2013 while the CAPS training for the Intermediate Phase was interrupted in certain subjects. There was a need to ensure that it is fast-tracked as planned. The Committee will monitor the roll-out of this training. The Committee also found that despite considerable strides the province was making in the delivery of LTSM compared to 2012, the district visited experienced shortages of textbooks and or incorrect delivery in most of the schools visited, as well as non-delivery of Grade 11 Mathematics and Physical Science textbooks. Encouragingly, the Department reported that it was doing mop up operations to identify and deliver outstanding textbooks by the end of January 2012. Another major challenge observed was the school infrastructure backlog which included the poor state of the school buildings, inadequate basic facilities such as sanitation and electricity as well as a shortage of classrooms and laboratories.
