School Based Assessment (SBA): The Province introduced a mid-year NSC SBA moderation that was conducted and monitored (verified) from 9 - 13 July 2012 in the five respective districts. Portfolios/evidence of 20 learners and educators were sampled from selected subjects from 10 schools per district. The provincial end of the year SBA moderation was conducted from 20 - 26 October 2012, whereby learner evidence from all schools and all subjects were moderated. The DBE and Umalusi monitored the provincial moderation process. The capturing of the SBA marks would take place from the 1 - 19 November 2012. It was important that all centres submit an SBA mark, including centres at risk. Special arrangements were made for Langberg learners to ensure compliance.
