Storm brews over Heritage-based Curriculum

According to the Primary and Secondary Education ministry, the inculcation of Ubuntu philosophy in learners will be compulsory under the new curriculum.

This follows the scrapping of the controversial Continuous Assessment Learning Activities, a programme which involved learning activities, projects or assessment that required learners to perform, demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and proficiency.
