Abstract
Learner achievement levels are low in South Africa. Concerns are based on the well-documented findings from systemic evaluations at the grade 3, 6 and 9 levels by the Department of Education itself, and even annual matriculation results, and from international comparisons from global studies on low proficiency in language, literacy, mathematics and science at various grade levels.-
