It must be recognized that educational performance is influenced by community and family<br />

dynamics, and not all measures of success are in the hands of the school or teacher. Participation<br />

is the responsibility of parents and the community, as is support and encouragement to learners. In<br />

turn, teachers should try to “add value” to the abilities of the children they teach – improving their<br />

performance whatever the starting point.<br />

1.3 Educational Indicators Pivotal to the Provincial Growth<br />

Development Plan<br />

1.3.1 Number of Five Year Old Children in Education Institutions (Public And Private)<br />

The <strong>2012</strong> baseline is 207 436 children and the 2015 target is 211 680. Note: StatsSA records that in<br />

2009, 70% of children in the province attended a pre-school, whereas nationally the figure was 78%.<br />

The national goal is universal coverage (100%) by 2014.<br />

1.3.2 Retention Rate: Grades 10 through 12<br />

Data shows the retention rate is the problem period in terms of retention; from Grade 9 some 12%<br />

of learners drop out each year. While 96% of children aged 15 are in school, only 93% of 16 year<br />

olds are, and 72% of 18 year olds. The baseline is to be determined; which should increase to 80%<br />

in 2020 and to 90% in 2030.<br />

1.3.3 Percentage of Learners in Grade 3 Achieve Over 50% in ANA.<br />

The current <strong>2012</strong> baseline is 41% of learners which should increase to increase to 60% by 2014<br />

(national target), 70% by 2020 and to 80% in 2030.<br />

1.3.4 Percentage of Learners in Grade 6 Achieve Over 50% in ANA<br />

The <strong>2012</strong> baseline is 35% of learners which should increase to 60% by 2014 (national target), 70%<br />

in 2020, and to 80% in 2030.<br />

1.3.5 Percentage of Learners in Grade 9 Achieve Over 50% in ANA<br />

The <strong>2012</strong> baseline is not known, due to this being a pilot year. The targets should also be 60% by<br />

2014, 70% by 2020 and 80% by 2030.<br />

1.3.6 Number of Learners Who Pass Selected Subjects in the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Senior</strong><br />

<strong>Certificate</strong><br />

Key indicator subjects include Mathematics and the language of learning. Targets will be developed<br />

depending on the selection of subjects.<br />
