1. In October 2011, the Western Cape Education Department conducted Grades 3 and 6 Systemic Tests to test competency levels in Numeracy and Literacy (Mathematics and Language). The Provincial Minister of Education released the results to the media on 20 January 2012.

2. The processing of the results per school has now been completed and the results will be available on the CEMIS from 27 January 2012. Schools are encouraged to access their results as soon as possible so as to incorporate them in their plans for improvement. The school reports will reflect the pass rates and average scores, as well as an indication of performance in each of the areas tested.

3. The school's results can be accessed on the CEMIS by using the following guidelines:

  • Select the menu item "Assessment". On the drop-down menu, select one of thefollowing:

    • For Grade 3 results, select "Grade 3 LitNum Results 2011".
    • For Grade 6 results, select "Grade 6 LitNum Results 2011".

The results should appear on the screen.

  • Should the results not appear, go to the menu bar at the top and select "Tools". Then select "Pop-up Blocker", select "Turn-off Pop-up Blocker" and click.
  • The "Pop-up Blocker" has now been turned off and may result in the CEMIS restarting.
  • Once this has been completed, select one of the grades to view the results.
4. Any enquiries regarding the contents of this minute should be directed to Dr R Cornelissen on 021 467 2286 or RonaldS.Cornelissen@pgwc.gov.za
