Multigrade Curriculum Guidelines Launched

The materials are intended for use at lower primary level (Standard 1-4) especially in rural areas with small learner populations, to improve access, quality, equity and accountability in learning and suite the requirements of a multi-grade teaching and learning environment.

Following the launch, the assistant minister of Education Moiseraele Goya told The Monitor that government is concerned by the number of children who remain out of school, especially in remote areas, hence the commitment to find ways to address the issue. He said that it has been realised that in areas where the system has been piloted it has worked although challenges remain. He said that it is his ministry’s intention to deal with problems besieging the education and teaching profession.
