    FINAL CAPS PUBLISHED

    Malcolm Venter

    The final versions of the CAPS for FET have finally been published.  They can be found at the following address:

    http://www.education.gov.za/Curriculum/CurriculumAssessmentPolicyStatements/CAPSFETPhase/tabid/420/Default.aspx

    OR just go to www.education.gov.za and find the curriculum page.

    The CAPS for Home language confirms the fact that the teaching of language structures is back more firmly:

    • Although it still states that this must be done in an integrated manner, it allows for a period per week to be set aside for this purpose.
    • The ‘Language’ Paper has been restored.

    It is pleasing to note that the powers-that-be were prepared to listen to the protests against the virtual abolition of language teaching and assessment in the final draft of the CAPS.
