It is the responsibility of each school to plan its school programme for the period during and after the assessment and/or examination until the last school day for learners on 5 December 2008 so that the learners are engaged constructively. It is important therefore that all schools adhere to the following: |
1.1 |
School days during the end-of-year assessment and/or examination period should not end earlier than 13:00 for learners. Learners involved in the national Grade 9 CTA process should be engaged with continued instructional support, learner review and reflection after the end of the national task. |
1.2 |
Schools should ensure that all learners attend school on all days, irrespective of whether or not they are involved in assessment or writing examinations. |
1.3 |
Schools should plan their internal assessment and/or examinations in such a way that all learners involved finish at 13:00 at the earliest. |
2. |
It is expected that all teachers will attend the full school day every day during this period, irrespective of whether or not they have invigilation duties. |
3. |
Learner profiles and portfolios must be available for moderation and progression, as per the dates determined for the districts. |
4. |
All schools are requested to submit their assessment and/or examination programmes to their circuit team managers on or before 7 November 2008. |
