OVERVIEW OF CAPS The Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) replace the National Curriculum Statement documents although the content is based on the NCS. There is one single comprehensive National Curriculum and Assessment Policy for each subject. • Learning areas are now known as subjects. • The terms Learning Outcomes and Assessment Standards are no longer used – instead the CAPS documents specify the content topics (knowledge and skills).

The end-of-year assessment must consist of tasks that are internally set, marked and moderated, as specified by the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS).
Assessment in Grade 12 The internal assessment mark will be 25% and the external assessment mark will make up 75% of the total mark, as specified in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). The internal assessment will be externally moderated.
