GRADE 10 CATCH UP PLAN
1. Background
Curriculum 2005 (C2005) was reviewed and replaced by the Revised National Curriculum
Statement (RNCS) Grade R-9 and the National Curriculum Statement (NCS) Grade 10-12 in
2002. The RNCS and NCS were combined to form the National Curriculum Statement Grade
R-12. The National Curriculum Statement Grade R-12 does not replace the RNCS Grade R-9
and the NCS Grade 10-12. It is this National Curriculum Statement Grade R-12 that is
introduced in a phased approach starting with the Foundation Phase and Grade 10 in 2012.
The National Curriculum Statement Grade R-12 comprises of the following: a) Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) for all approved subjects. b) National Policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the
National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12
c) National Protocol for Assessment Grades R-12
The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) are designed to provide clear
guidelines on what teachers ought to teach and assess on a grade-by-grade and subject
basis and what learners have to learn on a term-by-term basis.
All teachers in all the schools have received the National Curriculum Statement Grade R-
12 documents (documents stated in a, b and c above). All the schools in the province were
provided with the RNCS Grade R-9 and NCS Grade 10-12 textbooks for every Learning
Area/Subject and these are the textbooks that are currently being used in schools.
2. Analysis of Grade 10 subject content to identify gaps in the curriculum
and the extent to which the quality of teaching has been compromised
as a result of lack of textbooks.
The following is the analysis of the content of the NCS Grade 10-12 and NCS-CAPS
Grade R-12:
ACCOUNTING GRADE 10
A comparison of the content from NCS (Grade 10-12) to NCS – CAPS is detailed below for
reference:

Findings
The changes in Accounting are on the shifting of Salaries and Wages from Financial
Accounting to a topic under Managerial Accounting. The content remains the same and the
number of formal assessment tasks also remains the same. The content for term 1 and
term 2 is contained in the NCS (Grade 10-12) textbooks.

LANGUAGES
Preamble:
All language policy documents in the country are designed in English and
then translated into various languages.
Languages in South Africa are standardized and have equal standing and
weighting.
Languages offered in Limpopo schools:
Afrikaans, English, Sepedi, Setswana, Xitsonga, Tshivenda, IsiZulu,
IsiNdebele, IsiXhosa
A. The content is divided into 4 aspects:
1. Listening and speaking
2. Reading and viewing
3. Writing and presenting
4. Language structures and conventions
There is no increase in the content from 2011 to 2012. An educator can teach the
content (except for Literature) using any text or textbook of the required level.
The content that was prescribed for 2011 NCS and 2012 NCS-CAPS remains
the same.
B. Curriculum changes that are there refer to terminology of activities.
1. Pre listening, listening and post listening
2. Pre- reading, reading, post-reading
The new terminology does not disadvantage educators and learners because teaching-
learning activities have always been modelled on the pre- doing, doing, and post
activity model. This new terminology will influence how the textbooks are written, and
not influence the content of the subject.
C. Literature
No literature set works are prescribed from the national or provincial departments of
education. Each school uses available set works for grades 10 & 11 from the
catalogue.
Set works differ from one school to another.
Curriculum Branch: Catch Up Plan for Grade 10 - 2012 Page 4
D. Assessment tasks
Number of tasks for the first two terms:
Home Languages
Writing Literature. Oral. Tests. Exam. Total tasks:
NCS 2011 2 2 2 1 1 8
NCS-CAPS 2012 2 1 2 1 1 7
First Additional. Writing Literature. Oral. Tests. Exam. Total tasks:
NCS 2011 2 2 2 1 1 8
NCS-CAPS 2012 2 1 2 1 1 7
Second Additional.
Writing Literature. Oral. Tests. Exam. Total tasks:
NCS 2011 2 1 2 1 1 7
NCS-CAPS 2012 1 1 3 1 1 7
Conclusion
1. There is no increase in the number of assessment from 2011 to 2012
2. There is actually a decrease in the number of tasks in Home Language and
First Additional Language.
3. For Afrikaans Second Additional Language no textbooks were screened at the
National/DBE level. Provinces are developing lessons to be used in the whole
country. The Free State Province was responsible for Terms 1 & 2 lessons.
The North West Province is developing lessons for Term 3 work and Limpopo
Province is responsible for Term 4 lessons/work. The other provinces will
cover Grade 11 work.

Learning Outcomes (NCS) versus Topics (CAPS) NB: There is no content in the CAPS document that has not been referred to in some way or another in the NCS. The NCS document is somehow vague, open to different interpretations, and often unspecific with regards to teachable content.

Many new tourism trends and technology used in tourism has been included. Outdated and unnecessary content has been omitted.

GENERAL FINDINGS
The content contained in the NCS (Grade 10-12) and NCS-CAPS Grade (R-12) is the same in
most of the subjects except in Business Studies and Physical Sciences. In Business Studies
most of Grade 12 content has been shifted to Grade 10 Terms 1 and 2. In Physical Sciences
new content has been introduced. It should be noted that in 2012, schools were supplied
with Mathematics and Physical Sciences CAPS compliant Textbooks.
Since there is no substantial differences between the NCS (Grade 10-12) and NCS-CAPS
Grade (R-12) content most schools used the NCS (Grade 10-12) Textbooks which were
supplied to them by the Department and which they have been using in Grade 10 since the
phasing in of NCS (Grade 10-12).
The analysis of the responses on the curriculum gap provided by schools indicates that the
majority of schools were able to cover term 1 and 2 NCS-CAPS content. However, there are
schools which have indicated topics in terms 1 and 2 which are contained in both NCS
(Grade 10-12) and NCS-CAPS (Grade R-12) that they were not able to cover. Their inability to
cover these topics is not due to lack of CAPS compliant Textbooks as these topics are
contained in the NCS (Grade 10-12) Textbooks but largely due the teachers’ own content
gaps.
The catch-up plan will focus mainly on new content identified in each subject. In addition
the Department will also factor in content from term 1 and 2 that teachers identified as
difficult.

Curriculum Branch: Catch Up Plan for Grade 10 - 2012 Page 45
The Grade 10 catch-up implementation plan is based on the information received from
schools and an analysis of the NCS (Grade 10-12) and the NCS-CAPS (Grade R-12) content
done by Subject Specialists. The catch-up plan will consist of subject guides for both learners
and teachers.
This approach was adopted because face to face teaching during the winter recess is not
viable as Grade 11 teachers will be receiving training on CAPS which they have to introduce
in 2013. A substantial number of Grade 10 teachers also teach Grade 11 and 12 classes. The
subject guides will cost approximately R61m for development and printing. The
implementation will begin from 01 to 31st August 2012. Schools that have not completed
term 1 and 2 content will be expected to infuse the content from the guides in their
teaching. The Department will monitor and support the implementation of this catch-up
plan in those schools that have not completed term 1 and 2 work/ content.
