Abstract:
Post-apartheid South African curriculum reforms, from outcomes-based education (OBE) to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), resulted in different challenges. Teachers, in particular those teaching Physical Sciences in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase from Grades 10-12, were expected to cope with changes and master Physical Sciences curriculum for the attainment of good results, but were unable to do so because they were missing an understanding of curriculum concepts. The success of any curriculum depends on ten fundamental and broad curriculum concepts: ration

Abstract:
There has been a general outcry in South Africa that learners’ reading ability has deteriorated. This could be attributed to the fact that since 1998, new curricula were consistently introduced and changed with an aim of redressing the legacy of apartheid. The whole process of curriculum change not only affected the learners’ ability to read, write and count, but the quality of education as well. When reading skill are not developed, learners cannot cope with their academic responsibilities. The aim of this article is to determine whether the recent curriculum, the Curriculum and Assessmen

Science is generally expected to respond to students and societal needs by adopting student and social accountability principles. Therefore, school science curricula are revised regularly to address emerging socio-economic, political, and scientific issues. Similarly, the National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement of South Africa was introduced to foster a student and social accountable education that adopts relevant curriculum ideologies. Partly, it attempts to equip students with relevant skills and knowledge related to emerging societal challenges such as HIV/AIDS. The aim of the p

A significant number of young learners entering into Grade 1 in South Africa have not reached the required level of readiness for formal learning due to inadequate early learning experiences. As found in many studies worldwide, these learners are often traumatised because they cannot keep up with the pace and requirements of the formal learning situation, putting them at risk for school failure.

Abstract:
The uncertainty of how the curriculum is supposed to be delivered in schools during COVID-19, which is different from traditional practices, was a global challenge. This chapter seeks to explore school management teams' strategies to enhance curriculum delivery in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this qualitative chapter, transformative learning and quality management theories, purposive sampling techniques, and the interpretive paradigm were employed. In addition, data collected from semi-structured interviews were thematically analyzed and discussed to give conclusions and recommendations. This study found that despite the existing policies such as the Curriculum and Assessment Policy System (CAPS) and the National Policy for Assessment (NPA) on planning and implementing curriculum delivery in schools, school management teams (SMTs) found it difficult to execute their duties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the study suggests annual in-service training for departmental heads (Dh) and deputy principals (Dp) on planning and implementing curriculum in schools.
