Motshekga maintains no ‘pass one, pass all’ approach to academic year
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
The Department of
Basic Education has reiterated its position on assessments for the remainder of
the academic year.

Minister Angie Motshekga has been at pains to emphasize that there won’t be a “pass one, pass all” approach to assessments as the year inches closer to an end.
It comes amid growing concerns about the department’s ability to catch up on lost time during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Motshekga told MPs on Wednesday that the department is working around the clock to cover more ground.
“Our story is we want our kids to go back, try and clock back as much as we can and get them to be promoted.
“But we’ve decided that there’s not going to be pass one, pass all. They are going to be assessed on what we would have taught them,” Motshekga said.
