Grade 6 English and Afrikaans will be completed in week 11. Maths will be completed in week 1 of term 3.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

This data should be made available to all relevant officials, e.g. the... o SG o DDGs o Cluster Chief Directors o District Directors o EDOs o District Curriculum CESs o Head Office: Curriculum Officials

Attention should be paid to schools that are far behind the prescribed teaching plans. The comments by principals should be attended to and if necessary, be referred to the relevant

units of the Department. Districts should remind schools that are not submitting.
