The National Minister of Education Naledi Pandor is to launch the Foundations for Learning Campaign at the EA Janari School in Bonteheuwel on Tuesday.

Spokesperson for the Minister, Lunga Ngqengelele says the objective of the campaign is to provide both teachers and schools with a clear direction regarding the learning outcomes.

“The campaign also aims to ensure support is available to schools to ensure the achievement of expected levels of proficiency in reading, writing and numeracy at all levels of the system,” says Ngqengelele.

He says the campaign will focus on primary schools, but that the education department intends to ensure that all schools reach high academic achievements.

“It’s a four year campaign which will culminate with the national evaluation at the end of 2011 to assess the literacy and numeracy levels of learners and the overall impact of the campaign,” says Ngqengelele.
