FINAL CAPS PUBLISHED
Malcolm Venter
The final versions of the CAPS for FET have finally been published. They can be found at the following address:
OR just go to www.education.gov.za and find the curriculum page.
The CAPS for Home language confirms the fact that the teaching of language structures is back more firmly:
- Although it still states that this must be done in an integrated manner, it allows for a period per week to be set aside for this purpose.
- The ‘Language’ Paper has been restored.
It is pleasing to note that the powers-that-be were prepared to listen to the protests against the virtual abolition of language teaching and assessment in the final draft of the CAPS.
