2021 Revised Curriculum Foundation Phase

Covid-19 has created an unprecedented disruption to education systems across the world. One of the consequences thereof was the reduced time in teaching and learning resulting in substantial learning losses across subjects and grades. In order to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on learning and teaching, the Department of Basic Education adopted a multi-year curriculum recovery approach.

The recovery curriculum is designed to accommodate the negative impact of Covid-19 and is therefore an interim deviation from the original curriculum and a transitional arrangement until the policy amendment processes are completed.

The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has published the 2021 Revised Annual Teaching and Assessment Plans and Mediated Presentations per phase and subject for easy retrieval.
