FOREWORD by thE ministER
Our national curriculum is the culmination of our efforts over a period of seventeen
years to transform the curriculum bequeathed to us by apartheid. From the start of
democracy we have built our curriculum on the values that inspired our Constitution
(Act 108 of 1996). the Preamble to the Constitution states that the aims of the
Constitution are to:
• heal the divisions of the past and establish a society based on democratic
values, social justice and fundamental human rights;
• improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person;
• lay the foundations for a democratic and open society in which government is
based on the will of the people and every citizen is equally protected by law;
and
• build a united and democratic South Africa able to take its rightful place as a sovereign state in the family of
nations.
Education and the curriculum have an important role to play in realising these aims.
in 1997 we introduced outcomes-based education to overcome the curricular divisions of the past, but the experience
of implementation prompted a review in 2000. This led to the first curriculum revision: the Revised National Curriculum
Statement Grades R-9 and the National Curriculum Statement Grades 10-12 (2002).
Ongoing implementation challenges resulted in another review in 2009 and we revised the Revised National
Curriculum Statement (2002) to produce this document.
From 2012 the two 2002 curricula, for Grades R-9 and Grades 10-12 respectively, are combined in a single document
and will simply be known as the National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12. the National Curriculum Statement for
Grades R-12 builds on the previous curriculum but also updates it and aims to provide clearer specification of what
is to be taught and learnt on a term-by-term basis.
the National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12 accordingly replaces the subject statements, Learning Programme
Guidelines and subject Assessment Guidelines with the
(a) Curriculum and Assessment Policy statements (CAPs) for all approved subjects listed in this document;
(b) National policy pertaining to the programme and promotion requirements of the National Curriculum Statement
Grades R-12; and
(c) National Protocol for Assessment Grades R-12.
