#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
