1. Curriculum The Department was tasked with the ddevelopment of a single comprehensive Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) to enhance learning and teaching. On the orientation of Subject Advisors, 336 Foundation Phase and 2480 FET Phase subject advisors have been trained to date. Implementation for 2011/12 included the preparation of textbooks, orientation of teachers, managers and subject advisors and printing and distribution of CAPS to schools. The National and Provincial Departments of Education have analysed samples of learner scripts - 270 per subject: high, middle and low performance across provinces in the 2010 NSC examination. The scripts have indicated problematic areas for learners and these have been used for planning interventions in 2011. The Department has generated reports on item analysis and distributed these to schools. Provinces have set performance targets for subjects for 2011 and have generated interventions per subjects.
