The overview section of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement
(CAPS) discusses several important issues related to the education system in
South African schools. The main focus of the CAPS is on the National
Curriculum Statement Grades R-12, which was implemented in January 2012.
This new policy statement aims to provide a comprehensive framework for
learning and teaching in schools across the country.
One of the key issues addressed in the overview is the replacement of the
previous national curricula statements, namely the Revised National Curriculum
Statement Grades R-9 and the National Curriculum Statement Grades 10-12.
These statements were published in government gazettes in 2002, 2003, and
2005. The National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12 is designed to replace
these older statements and provide a more up-to-date and comprehensive
framework for education in South Africa.
The overview also highlights the various policy documents that make up the
National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12. These include Curriculum and
Assessment Policy Statements for each approved school subject, the National
policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the National
Curriculum Statement Grades R-12, and the National Protocol for Assessment
Grades R-12. These policy documents form the basis for learning and teaching
in schools and provide guidelines for curriculum development and assessment.
Another important issue discussed in the overview is the gradual repeal of the
previous national curriculum statements during the period 2012-2014. This
process involves phasing out the Learning Area/Subject Statements, Learning
Programme Guidelines, and Subject Assessment Guidelines for Grades R-9
and Grades 10-12, as well as other policy documents related to assessment
and qualifications for schools. The National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12
is intended to replace these older documents and become the primary
framework for education in South African schools.
The overview also emphasizes the importance of the National Curriculum
Statement Grades R-12 in setting norms and standards for education. It is
stated that this policy document will form the basis for the Minister of Basic
