Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga says South Africa must return to tried and trusted teaching methods as Outcomes Based Education has in many ways failed to provide pupils with essential skills.
Motshekga told Parliament's portfolio committee on education the school curriculum would be reviewed over the next year.
Motshekga is quotes as saying the OBE curriculum had placed too heavy an administrative burden on teachers that undermined their primary task. It resulted in children not acquiring skills they needed.
