The African Christen Democratic Party (ACDP) has voiced concern about the pressure placed on Grade 9 learners. The party says the pressure is due to delays caused by the department of education.
"There are reports that every year, the national department fails to deliver the Common Tasks for Assessments (CTA’s) in time for the teachers to familiarise with the tasks. That means the learners are caught up in doing the CTA’s whilst they ought to be preparing for their final exams," says ACDP Member of Parliament Cheryllyn Dudley.
The ACDP is dissatisfied that learners are being disadvantaged. The party says that processes and systems should be in place in time. "If the task has become too great to achieve, then the situation must receive serious review," says Dudley.
