The study of history involves exploring past events. In this subject, you will learn about historical events and the effects it has on the present and future. You will learn how and where to gather information about past events by asking the real questions: what happened, why did it happen and when did it happen? By evaluating past events you establish your own opinion instead of just listening and believing what other people have to say about it.

Language is a tool for thought and communication. It is also a cultural and aesthetic means commonly shared amongst people to make better sense of the world they live in. English First Additional Language assumes that learners do not necessarily have any knowledge of English when they arrive at school. The focus in the first few years of school is on developing learners’ ability to understand and speak English. Literacy skills are then built on this oral foundation as learners’ progress through school. The reality is, however, that many learners still cannot communicate effectively in English by the time they reach Grade 12. The challenge in Grades 10-12, therefore, is to provide support for these learners, at the same time as providing a curriculum that enables learners to meet the standards required in Grade 12. These standards must be such that learners can use English at a high level of proficiency to prepare them for further or higher education, as well as the world of work.

ASC Mathematical Literacy

test test — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 08:57:03 +0000

The competencies developed through Mathematical Literacy allow individuals to make sense of, participate in and contribute to the twenty-first century world. This world is characterised by numbers, numerically based arguments and data represented and misrepresented in many different ways. Such competencies include the ability to reason, make decisions, solve problems, manage resources, and interpret information. Learners must be exposed to both mathematical content and real-life contexts to develop these competencies. The subject Mathematical Literacy should enable the learner to become a self-managing person, a contributing worker and a participating citizen in a developing democracy. The teaching and learning of Mathematical Literacy should thus provide opportunities to analyse problems and devise ways to work mathematically in solving such problems.
