1. In November 2009 the Grade 6 learners wrote the WCED assessment tests to measure their levels of Literacy and Numeracy. On 18 February 2010 Minister Grant released the provincial results to the media.
2. A process of disaggregating the results per school has now been completed and is available on CEMIS from 23 February 2010. Schools are encouraged to access their results as soon as possible so as to incorporate the outcomes in their plans for improvement. The school reports will reflect the mean scores and pass rates for the entire school and for each class.
3. To access your school's results from CEMIS follow the guidelines below:

  • Point to the menu item "Assessment". Then point to "Grade 6 2009 LitNum Results" and click. The results will appear.
  • Should the results not appear, the CEMIS administrator must proceed to the menu bar on top and select "Tools". Then point to "Pop-up Blocker", select "Turn-off Pop-up Blocker" and click.
  • The "Pop-up blocker" has now been turned off and may result in CEMIS restarting.
  • Once this has been completed, press bullet one to access the Grade 6 results.
4. Schools are again reminded that their Grade 3 Assessment results for 2008 are also available on CEMIS under "Assessment".
5. Any enquiries regarding the contents of this minute should be directed to Dr RS Cornelissen (telephone 021 467 2286; e-mail rcornelissen@pgwc.gov.za).
