Western Cape MEC of Education Donald
Grant on Monday visited one of ten schools that will start teaching isiXhosa to
Grade 1 pupils as a pilot project.
Ministerial Spokesperson Bronagh
Casey said the WCED has appointed four teachers for the pilot and will appoint
a fifth teacher sometime this week.
This pilot forms part of national
experiment to institute the second additional language in Grade 1.
“Many primary schools already offer
isiXhosa as a second additional language in grade 4 to 7 however this pilot
will look at feasibility of introducing the second additional language in Grade
1, Casey added”.
