Northern Cape Project (Phase 1, 2019-2020): Baseline Results (1)

Baseline (1) Test Results

A representative sample of Grade 1 learners from Pixley Kaseme and John Taolo Gatsewe Districts were tested at the end of the first term using the Test of Basic Concepts Knowledge.

The sample was drawn from 6 schools in each of the Pixley Kaseme and John Taolo Gaetsewe Districts (n=12). The sample represents 32% of the schools (38) participating in the project. 14 learners were randomly selected from each of the schools (n=168).

The results found that 72% of the learners were not ready for school learning, while 28% of the learners were prepared for school learning.

The above results will be compared with the intervention learners when they are in Grade 1 in 2021.
