Syllabus Mitigation Measures
While
adhering to the continuously updated public health advice and always with
caution, the Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes is recommending
that the same syllabus mitigation measures from last year remain in force for
the Early Years and the Primary Years for scholastic year 2021-2022.
Guidelines for these years, together with others for the Middle and Secondary
Years, are available at the above links.
The full syllabus needs to be followed for Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9.
Promoting
positive experiences of learning and assessment in class is strongly
encouraged. It can develop since the very beginning of the scholastic year and
start with teachers finding the time while in class and while interacting with
their learners to ensure that individual learning gaps are addressed. This can be done by validating the levels of attainment and achievement from
last year’s records of continuous assessment and end of year exams as a
starting point of reference.
In
collaboration with schools, Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes
shall remain committed towards:
- Helping students
achieve excellent outcomes from learning time at school.
- Offering flexible
and adaptive teaching in line with all health protocols in place to ensure
that learners in class continue to benefit from group work, pair work and
co-operative learning if this is physically possible.
- Personalised
learning opportunities that are increased across all levels as needed.
- The general provision of an inclusive and accessible learning and assessment environment in class.
-
