Foreword

1. This 2012/13 Curriculum Year Planner is intended to direct attention to priority national and provincial curriculum mandates in order to enable efficient planning for effective service delivery and quality budget expenditure.

2. The Year Plan applies to all curriculum events for the 2012 calendar year and the first quarter of 2013 available at time of print. Exact dates for some activities cannot be confirmed, as this will depend on the national Department of Basic Education’s programmes and other provincial mandates received during the course of 2012.

3. All curriculum activities and events indicated on the Curriculum Year Planner are informed by the Provincial Department of Education’s Strategic Plan: 2010 – 2014, namely the Vision, Mission and Strategic Goals. More specifically, teaching, learning and assessment activities are informed by the following Strategic Goals prioritised as follows:

4. The Curriculum Year Planner also takes into consideration the Department of Basic Education’s national mandates which include: Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) orientation and implementation, as well as the national Language and Mathematics strategies.

5. The Year Planner reflects the Chief Directorate: Curriculum Management Motto (Siyasebenzisana) and unfolds its Vision which is as follows:

6. Head Office and District Curriculum personnel should endeavour to adhere to the dates specified in the calendar as far as possible, given that there was joint planning by directorates and the necessary consultation was effected at various levels.

7. All Curriculum Personnel at Provincial and District levels are expected to plan for specific activities as per the timeframes indicated in the Curriculum Year Planner and include such in the individual work plans of relevant curriculum personnel.

8. As a Chief Directorate, our mandate to improve the quality of teaching, learning and assessment constitutes the “core business of Education” and therefore, we have a critical role to play in advancing certain key pillars of the Provincial Learner Attainment Improvement Strategy (LAIS), as well as relevant aspects of the provincial Turnaround Plan (TAP).

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered,

and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”

(Orison Swett Marden)
