Basic Education minister Angie Motshekga has published a new curriculum policy document for public comment which will introduce a number of new subjects at the country’s schools.

Motshekga said that the policy will amend the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) through the introduction of 13 additional subjects for Grade 8 and 9 students.

Many of these subjects are aimed at directly helping school-leaving pupils who will not necessarily complete Grade 12 or enter university.

The proposed subjects cover a wide range of fields including agriculture, art and various technology subjects. Links to the full subject breakdowns are included in the descriptions below.
