2023 Massive R1.2 billion #BackOnTrack campaign launched to reverse
learning losses in the Western Cape Today we launched the #BackOnTrack
programme, which is a big, bold intervention to reverse Covid-19 learning
losses in the Western Cape. The pandemic is over, but the effect of the
pandemic is not over. Earlier this year, we released our 2022 systemic test
results for Mathematics and Reading, which confirmed that during the
pandemic, learning outcomes fell off a cliff. We simply cannot say that a child
is receiving quality education if more than half of our Grade 3, 6, and 9,
learners cannot achieve the basic pass score for Mathematics and Reading.
And we expect the results of the Progress in International Reading and
Literacy Study 2021, due to be released next week, to show learners across our
country are facing the same challenge. We have to act, and we have to act
decisively, and we have to act in a way that has impact in order to deal with
what is a full-blown learning crisis. This is why we are investing a massive
R1.2 billion into our #BackOnTrack programme over the next three years, to
improve learning outcomes so that our children have a better future in the
Western Cape. The programme marks a big change from ‘business as usual’
in our schools. The scale of the programme is unprecedented: 333 schools
have been selected to receive targeted support based on the systemic test
results, in addition to the 1 100 schools already receiving extra support in the
Foundation Phase since 2022. 4 The new schools selected will identify 126 000
learners, 8 980 teachers and 28 000 parents targeted for focussed
participation, in addition to the 310 000 learners and 10 000 teachers already
participating in the Foundation Phase. All school phases are covered, with all
grades in the Foundation Phase, and Grade 4 in the Intermediate Phase,
Grades 7 and 8 in the Senior Phase, and Grades 10 and 12 in the Further
Education and Training Phase, targeted. All stakeholders in learning are
being supported simultaneously, recognising that we can all make a
contribution towards improving learning outcomes. We’re using a variety of
teaching, learning and support methods, both in person and online. For
example, we will be taking some of our Grade 4, 7 and 8 teachers out of class
every ten days, for targeted support. And our Grade 12s will participate in
