Assignment 2 comprises of two sections, Section A and Section B
SECTION A
To prepare you for your five weeks of teaching practice, it is important that you know more
about the specific policies that guide teaching and learning in a school.
To complete Assignment 02, you need to access the policy document that guides your subject
from the Department of Basic Education website or at a nearest school or nearest Education
District office.
Use the document you downloaded to answer the following questions:
1. Describe the main important issues that are discussed in the overview section of the
Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS).
In the overview section of the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS), several
key issues are typically discussed. These may include the rationale behind the curriculum, its
objectives, guiding principles, and the overall structure of the document. Additionally, the
overview often outlines the philosophical underpinnings of the curriculum, such as its alignment
with national educational goals, values, and priorities. Furthermore, it may address the
educational context in which the curriculum operates, including challenges and opportunities
within the education system. The overview also tends to highlight the stakeholders involved in
curriculum development and implementation, emphasizing collaboration and partnership.
Overall, the overview sets the stage for understanding the broader framework and intentions of
the CAPS document
