Introduction
The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) syllabus is one of the seven learning
areas at Infant level as noted in the Curriculum Framework for Primary and Secondary
Education. It provides a broad perspective on the basic knowledge and practical skills on how
to use and apply a variety of technologies in everyday life. The syllabus intends to equip
learners with the general understanding of how information systems are designed to suit
particular applications and how such systems work. The ICT syllabus is intended to be infused
within other learning areas in the school curriculum.
The syllabus will follow a developmental approach that will lead learners to grow into a confident
relationship with ICTs through education Infant module .

Summary of Content
ICT requires learners to pay close attention to developing adequate life and career skills. It
adequately equips today’s learners in entry-level work and beyond, in further study and lifelong
learning, and in their personal lives as inquisitive, reflective, discerning and caring citizens. ICT
is significantly enhancing and altering human activities, enabling us to live, work and think in
ways that most of us never thought possible. Since technology has an increasingly significant
impact, and such broad implications for every individual, groups and entire nations, learners
must be prepared to understand, control use and apply ICT in effective and efficient ways.
The Infant School ICT syllabus covers theory and practical activities in areas such as drawing,
programming and designing. This enables learners to be exposed to a wide variety of ICT
tools and programs which develop expertise, originality, confidence, self-identity (Unhu/Ubuntu/
Vumunhu)) and the ability to communicate.
ICT provides unique opportunities for scaffolding and supporting learning for learners with
special learning needs, and learners from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds. The
use of ICT encompasses enterprise skills, a significant contributor to the socio-economic
transformation of the nation.

Scheme of Assessment
The ICT Syllabus for Infants embraces continuous assessment which is mainly formative in
nature.
Continuous Assessment (100%)
Profiling and practical assignments are administered on learners from ECD through to Grade
2, while tests start at Grade 1. Tests and assignments are designed by the class teacher.
Assessment instruments like checklists and observation schedules must go through national
standardisation.
NB: Assessment through practical assignments and tests may not contribute to the final
mark. Profiling should continue through to Grade 7.

APPENDICES
APPENDIX I: GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN QUESTION PAPERS
It is hoped that the glossary will be helpful to learners as a guide. The glossary has been
deliberately kept brief not only with respect to the number of terms included but also to the
descriptions of their meanings. Learners should appreciate that the meaning of a term must
depend in part on its context.

is intended literally, only a formal statement or equivalent paraphrases
being required.
implies a concise answer with little or no supporting argument
e.g. numerical answer that can readily be obtained by inspection
requires a number of points generally each of one word with no
elaboration, where a number of points is specified this should not be
exceeded.
may imply reasoning or some reference to theory depending on the
context
requires the candidate to state in words (using diagrams where
appropriate) the main points of the concept
Predict/deduce
implies brevity that is restricting the answer to given essentials
the candidate is expected to produce the expected answer by making
a logical connection between other pieces of information
it is used in two main contexts that is either to imply that there is no
unique answer or to imply that learners are expected to apply their
general knowledge
is a general term that may variously be interpreted as calculate,
measure, determine etc
often implies that the quantity concerned cannot be measured directly
but is obtained by calculation
