The national department of basic education says it's all hands on deck for the final national certificate examinations, starting for most candidates on Monday.
Moses Simelane, chief director for curriculum in the department, said the class of 2022 was “the most unfit group” due to the interruptions of Covid-19.“They were in grade 10 in 2020 when Covid-19 struck. A number of strategies were used in making sure all learners return to class. There was also an introduction of a mechanism to allow learners to learn from home. Only this year this class was fully back to school. We have had a rotational system.
“They are the most unfit group for the national senior certificate. They were severely and negatively affected by the lockdowns,” he said. Simelane said in the Eastern Cape, for example, multiple measures were taken to ensure teachers and pupils were able to keep up with the curriculum. “There were meetings that brought teachers together and ensured assessments were set at a standard. Mock exams were written in June.Other educational support interventions included the use of television, mobile phones and radio.
