STRENGTHENING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATEMENT

 

All teachers, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Higher Education experts, parents and members of the public:

This is a call for you to participate in a public comment process to refine and strengthen the implementation of the curriculum

More information on the process and the format of the submissions can be obtained from the home page under What’s New? of the educational portal Thutong at www.thutong.doe.gov.za.
