INTRODUCTION 1.1 This circular consists of three sections: Section A, which stipulates the promotion requirements for Grades 10 and 11 Section B, which deals with the Promotion Schedules and Section C, which deals with the CASS component of the final promotion mark. SECTION A: PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADES 10 AND 11 2. GENERAL PRINCIPLES 2.1 This circular replaces Circular 22 of 2003. 2.2 Promotion 2.2.1 The principle of promotion according to minimum requirements is retained. 2.2.2 The promotion requirements applied in Grade 10 and Grade 11 must be consistent with Report 550, which has been approved by the Minister of Education. 2.2.3 Principals and School Assessment Teams (SATs) must implement the promotion requirements for Grades 10 and 11. 2.2.4 No official may apply Paragraph 31 of the “Admissions Policy for Ordinary Public Schools” issued under the National Educational Policy Act, 1996 (Act No. 27 of 1996). This act refers to learners from Grade 1 to Grade 8 who are presently part of the new educational system of Outcomes Based Education. 2.2.5 A Possible Failure Schedule for learners must be submitted to the District Assessment Team in the beginning of August. At the end of the year the SAT must be able to provide suitable evidence to the DAT that the learners have been assisted and supported during the final part of the year, as well as provide evidence of the learner’s work. 2.3 CASS 2.3.1 Continuous assessment is a compulsory component of the promotion requirements for all grades. It involves oral work, short assignments, projects, formal class pencil and paper tests, group work, practical work, etc. This component will be discussed in greater detail in Section C. English: Page 2 of 19 2.3.2 The marks required to pass a subject are: Grade All HG Subjects except Second language HG Official Second Language HG All other subjects SG 2.4 Marks Required to pass 160/400 Percentage 40% 100/300 100/300 33.3% 33.3% End year Examinations 2.4.1 The final examinations in Grade 10 and 11 may not start before 15 working days from the end of term. 2.5 Language 2.5.1 Please note the definitions of the following terms used in this circular as per Report 550 (Revised in August 2001): 2.5.2 An Approved Language, with regard to the language requirements (Group A Subjects), is a language with a valid syllabus at First or Second Language level. 2.5.3 An Approved Language of Learning and Teaching is the language in which teaching and learning occurs at the school and must be an official language with a valid syllabus at First or Second Language level. 2.5.4 The following information concerning language is important for learners who wish to proceed to Grade 12 at any stage: 2.5.5 To obtain a Senior Certificate, a learner must choose two approved languages. For the purpose of this definition, an Approved Language must be a language with a valid First or Second language syllabus. At present, all eleven official languages are offered on both First and Second Language Level. A learner may, however, choose both the required languages at Standard Grade. PLEASE NOTE: German is offered only on First Language Level. 2.5.6 For university endorsement purposes, two languages from the list of official languages (Group A), including at least one First Language, is required. The second language may be either at First or Second Language Level. Both these languages must be offered on the Higher Grade. A further requirement is that one of the two languages offered must be a university language of instruction. Currently, English and Afrikaans are the only two university languages of instruction in South Africa.

An immigrant candidate is, for the purposes of these measures: A. A foreigner who has immigrated to the Republic of South Africa; B. A South African citizen or the child of a South African citizen who, in the opinion of Umalusi, has been unable to continue his/her studies in the official languages on the account of his/her residence abroad; C. A child of foreigners who is studying in the Republic of South Africa. Provided that an immigrant candidate, as contemplated in the above paragraph, has entered a South African school in Grade 7 or a more senior grade; or having begun his/her schooling at a South African school, has attended school outside South Africa for two or more consecutive years after grade 6, or its equivalent. This definition of an immigrant applies to candidates taking the Senior Certificate with or without endorsement. 2.6.2 Immigrant candidates who wish to obtain an endorsement/exemption should choose and pass two languages, an official FIRST LANGUAGE on Higher Grade and a mother tongue language on Advanced Level or a language chosen from Group D. (For Group D subjects, refer to Annexure A) 2.6.3 Furthermore, the definition of an immigrant candidate in point 2.6.1 implies that a candidate who arrives in South Africa and is placed in Grade 7 may fail one or more years and still maintain his/her immigrant status. 2.6.4 Please note that the definition of an immigrant must be taken into account when determining the programme and promotion requirements for immigrant learners from Grade 10 to Grade 12. 3. MINIMUM PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING PHASE (GRADES 10/11) The following common weighting for continuous assessment and final examination must be applied.

The school must effect the conversion using the guideline number 7.14. 5.7 Standard Grade subjects must NOT be converted to Lower Grade passes in order for a learner to be promoted. SECTION B: PROMOTION SCHEDULES FOR GRADES 10 TO 11 6. INTRODUCTION 6.1 All schools must use the official Gauteng Department of Education Promotion Schedules. This schedule will be printed from the GDE EAS (Examination Administration System) computer programme. Schools using service provider computer administration programmes may use their programmes but they must be adjusted so as to be in line with the format of the official schedules. 6.2 The Schedule numbers are listed in the table below for reference. GRADE 10–11 GRADE 10– 11 6.3 PROMOTION SCHEDULE POSSIBLE FAILURE SCHEDULE 459-460 459.A-460.A Promotion Schedules must be duly printed or completed in duplicate and returned to the District Office. The District Assessment Team (DAT) at the District Office will indicate the final timeframes for these schedules to be submitted at the end of the school year. These times will follow the outline below: The final examination for learners in Grade 10 and 11 must be on the last Tuesday before the end of the school year for learners. Promotion schedules to be examined and signed on the last two days (Thursday and Friday) of the learners’ school year. Promotion data and hardcopies of promotion schedules to be handed in to Districts on or before the last Monday before educators leave. English: Page 9 of 19 6.4 6.5 6.6 6.7 6.8 6.9 6.10 Promotion Schedules must be ratified and signed by a member of the District Assessment Team before reports can be distributed. The original promotion schedules will be returned to the school, and the District Office will keep the copies of the promotion schedules. Both the District Office and the school will keep these schedules in a safe place. Report cards that are completed before the District Assessment Team has ratified Promotion Schedules will not be considered as valid proof of promotion. Report cards may be handed to learners on the last day of school for learners, but not later than the last day that educators are at school. Possible Failure Schedules must be handed in to the District Assessment Team in the beginning of August so that intervention can take place. SATs and educators must make record books/files, learner portfolios, marking memoranda and learners’ answer scripts available to District Assessment Teams on request. Please ensure that the name of the school, school reference number, District, grade, class and the date are duly completed on all schedules. This information must be indicated on the cover page. The schedules must be signed by the educator, Head of Department at the school (where applicable), and the school principal before they are submitted to the District Assessment Team, for ratification and approval. It is incumbent upon the principal of a school to ensure that Schedules are accurately and timeously completed and presented to the District Office for approval before report cards are issued. Finalised Promotion Schedules are legal assessment administration documents. Therefore, they should be treated with confidentiality and stored safely for future reference. 7. STEPS IN THE COMPLETION OF GRADE 10 PROMOTION SCHEDULES IF A COMPUTER SYSTEM IS NOT USED. 7.1 It is advisable to complete all details on the Schedules in black ink. 7.2 The Promotion Schedule must be completed in alphabetical sequence, starting with surnames per grade. 7.3 Indicate the subjects/instructional offerings of the learner in the vertical (blank) columns as per subject groups. The Schedule may be completed as per subject sets or subject combinations offered by learners per grade. 7.4 Indicate the grade of the subjects/instructional offerings in the row labelled Grade. 7.5 The learner’s actual marks and not percentages must be indicated in the CASS Mark, Examination Mark and Final Mark columns. 7.6 For Higher Grade subjects, the total marks per subject is 400, except for the Second Language on Higher Grade which is 300 marks. The marks of all other SG subjects are out of 300. English: Page 10 of 19 7.7 The CASS mark for subjects out of 400 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 200 marks (50%). The CASS mark for subjects out of 300 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 150 marks (50%). 7.8 The examination mark for subjects out of 400 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 200 marks (50%). The examination mark for subjects out of 300 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 150 marks (50%). 7.9 The final mark is the sum of the CASS mark and the examination mark (100%), i.e. out of 300 or 400. The following grids are examples: SUBJECT TOTAL CASS mark (50%) Examination mark (50%) Final mark (100%) E.g. Mathematics (HG) 120/200 150/200 270/400 SUBJECT TOTAL CASS mark (50%) Examination mark (50%) Final mark (100%) E.g. Biology (SG) 100/150 150/150 250/300 7.10 To calculate the CASS mark grade average, add up all the learners’ actual CASS marks and divide by the number of learners in that subject. In other words: total of all CASS Marks, divided by the number of learners. Convert this average to a percentage. 7.11 To calculate the final grade average mark, add up all the learners’ actual final marks and divide by the number of learners in that subject. In other words: total of all final marks divided by the number of learners. Convert this average to a percentage. 7.12 If the learner has failed a subject(s), please circle the marks of the subject(s) in red ink. 7.13 If the learner received a condonation in one subject, please indicate the marks of the subject condoned by an asterix e.g. <marks>* 7.14 If the learner received a conversion in one or more subjects, please indicate the marks of the subjects by underlining in red ink e.g. <marks> English: Page 11 of 19 STEPS IN THE COMPLETION OF GRADE 11 PROMOTION SCHEDULES IF A COMPUTER PROGRAMME IS NOT USED 7.15 The Promotion Schedule must be completed in alphabetical sequence, starting with surnames per grade. 7.16 Indicate the subjects/instructional offerings of the learner in the vertical (blank) columns as per subject groups. The Schedule may be completed as per subject sets or subject combinations offered by learners per grade. 7.17 Indicate the grade of the subjects/instructional offerings in the row labelled Grade. 7.18 The learner’s actual marks and not percentages must be indicated in the CASS Mark, Examination Mark and Final Mark columns. 7.19 For Higher Grade subjects, the total marks per subject is 400, except for the Second Language on Higher Grade which is 300 marks. The marks of all other SG subjects are out of 300. 7.20 The CASS mark for subjects out of 400 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 100 marks (25%). The CASS mark for subjects out of 300 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 75 marks (25%). 7.21 The examination mark for subjects out of 400 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 300 marks (75%). The examination mark for subjects out of 300 marks will be indicated as an actual mark out of 225 marks (75%). 7.22 The final mark is the sum of the CASS mark and the examination mark (100%), i.e. out of 300 or 400. The following grids are examples: 7.23 SUBJECT TOTAL CASS MARK (25%) Examination mark (75%) Final mark (100%) E.g. Mathematics (HG) 80/100 190/300 270/400 SUBJECT TOTAL CASS mark (25%) Examination mark (75%) Final mark (100%) E.g. Biology (SG) 60/75 190/225 250/300 To calculate the CASS mark grade average, add up all the learners’ actual CASS marks and divide by the number of learners in that subject. In English: Page 12 of 19 other words: total of all CASS Marks, divided by the number of learners. Convert this average to a percentage. 7.24 To calculate the final grade average mark, add up all the learners’ actual final marks and divide by the number of learners in that subject. In other words: total of all final marks divided by the number of learners. Convert this average to a percentage. 8. COMPLETION OF GRADE 10 – 11 POSSIBLE FAILURE SCHEDULES 8.1 Fill in marks for Terms 1 and 2 (the mark for Term 3 will not be used) obtained by the learner in all subjects/instructional offerings and the average mark of the learner to date in the CASS mark column (CM). 8.2 The marks used for Terms 1 and 2 must be taken from marks used when reporting to parents at the end of each term. These should include tests, an examination and assessment tasks completed to date. It is possible that these marks might not be in the ratio that will be used for the CASS mark at the end of the year. This fact should be taken into consideration when drawing up the possible failure schedule. (In order for the subject marks to be in the correct ratio each term please consult Annexure B) 8.3 The educator should provide reasonable motivation as to why a learner might fail. This motivation should be underpinned by the pass/fail criteria stipulated in this circular. 9. SECTION C: THE CASS COMPONENT 9.1 The weighting of the CASS Component 9.1.1 The background to the development of portfolios has been explained in Educator Guide to phase in FET 2002 – 2005. The CD “Pacesetters for Grade 10, 11 and 12” may be used as a guideline for compiling various assessment tasks in Grade 10 and 11. 9.1.2 The CASS component will consist of 50% in Grade 10 and 25% in Grade 11 of the final promotion mark. The CASS component will vary according to the type of subject. This variation is described in this section. 9.1.3 A minimum of 6 assessment tasks must be completed by all learners in all subjects in a year. 3 tasks must be tests/examinations and 3 tasks must be other assessment tasks. This implies that there must be at least one test/examination per term and one other assessment task per term. A subject may have a number of short assessment tasks in the place of one longer assessment task according to different subjects preferences. 9.1.4 Please note that schools using computer programs will have to change the program so that the CASS mark reflects the changes indicated in this section.
