6. NSLA
40
BACKGROUND
• The Teacher Development and Curriculum Development
(TDCM) workshop of 26-28 January 2015 focused on
NSLA.
• The revised NSLA was discussed at HEDCOM of 9th
February 2015 and CEM of 12-13 March 2015.
• Both HEDCOM and CEM endorsed the dates for the
submission of the integrated NLSA Reports.
• HEDCOM requested a further extension of two weeks to
input into the reporting template.
• All provinces were reminded to provide feedback.
• Feedback was received from
(written) and Mpumalanga (verbal).
41
Western
Cape
BACKGROUND (Cont.)
• Western Cape proposed the deletion of a
number of activities and performance
indicators and the addition of new
indicators.
• Mpumalanga
supported
the
new
strengthened NSLA and proposed that the
quarterly reports be reduced to three
reports per annum. (Review 4th Quarter)
42
7. 2015 REWORKED
NSLA
43
PURPOSE OF THE NSLA
• The Department of Basic Education (DBE)
has updated and strengthened the 2015
NSLA Integrated Framework in order to
address all issues that contribute to underperformance in the system and revised the
reporting tool which informs provincial and
district activities and programmes to
improve overall learner performance in line
with Action Plan to 2019 – Toward
Schooling 2030.
44
HEDCOM RECOMMENDATIONS
The revised 2015 NSLA was discussed by
HEDCOM on 9th February 2015.
• The recommendations made included:
– reflecting a differentiated approach in providing
support to under-performing provinces, districts and
schools; High enrolment subjects;
– Learners with special education needs;
– Girl learners in MST subjects;
– Addressing weaknesses and gaps provided in the
subject profiles; and
– Support for repeating and progressed learners in all
grades.
Subsequently HEDCOM recommendations were
infused in the document.
45
2015 STRENGTHENED NSLA
• Recommendations by WCED were
carefully considered by the DBE and
based on the strength of the provincial
motivation provided, either accepted,
rejected or amended.
• Verbal input from Mpumalanga is likely to
result in an amended and shortened
quarter 4 report focusing on support for
learners writing the 2016 supplementary
examination and progressed learners.
46
2015 STRENGTHENED NSLA (Cont.)
The changes made to the NSLA are indicated under the
following headings:
– Revised sections of the NSLA to ensure clear
accountability;
– Detailed Performance Indicators to improve

report will be done over a two-day period
in order to meet the deadline.
