1. In November 2002 a questionnaire on CASS was sent to schools under cover of Circular 0151/2002.

2. The Department wishes to thank those educators (41.6% of the schools) who completed and returned the questionnaire.

3. The responses have been analysed, and a copy of the results is attached for your information and feedback.

4. The Senior Curriculum Planners will study the results and the comments, and make recommendations to both the national Department of Education and the EMDCs for possible improvement of the application of CASS.

5. The Department is confident that this evaluation of the questionnaire will lead to a more practical implementation of continuous assessment in schools. Your feedback is appreciated.
