2.1 Introduction KwaZulu-Natal is the largest Province in terms of geographical expansion with a total of 2 869 918 learners in 6256 schools. The institutions are spread over 184 606 square kilometres, and much of it is rural, with limited infrastructure and the lack of basic infrastructure and communications. These, together with the dearth of inadequate health and safety provisions, have a profound negative impact on the nature and quality of curriculum delivery. There are about 10,2 million people in KwaZulu-Natal. In the context of a curriculum that seeks to involve parents and the community, this poses challenges for the schooling system. The HIV and AIDS pandemic prevalent amongst this population adds additional complexities. The Province has one of the highest illiteracy levels in the country. Of the 5 million people who are HIV positive in the country, 3 million are in KwaZulu-Natal. The Province also has the highest number of infant mortality rate and the highest number of Tuberculosis cases. All of the above mentioned diseases can be easily transmitted from parent to child and this has a severe impact on the performance of learners. The majority of schools in urban areas are well resourced with reasonably well qualified educators, because many of them are attracted to the cities. They also have good infrastructure and reliable means of communication and transport. In sharp contrast to this, schools in the rural areas are characterized by poor infrastructure, less reliable transport and communication, with under-qualified and even un-qualified teachers. 2.2 Schools’ Landscape KwaZulu-Natal is characterised by extremes in terms of topographical and geographical factors. The Province’s 6256 schools are categorised as both public and independent schools, in the primary, secondary and combined categories, as is evident in table A. Public Schools are government funded schools. Independent Schools are schools that may or may not be funded by government, and Elsen schools are schools for learners with special educational needs. These are in Table A.

Out of 5 189 528 children within 0-4 cohort, 1 220 882 are in KwaZulu-Natal. (2011 Mid-year Population estimates report). This constitutes 23% of the South African Children. Of these 123 506 is receiving ECD Services in 1619 registered sites and unregistered home and community base care. Since 2009, five hundred and ninety two ECD classrooms have been built, which means that that there is increased access to education. 2.4 The Distinguishing Characteristic of the Province of Kwazulu- Natal The unique features of the province may be encapsulated in some of the following statistics: There are 2 869 918 learners in the province, with 95 686 educators in ordinary public and independent schools. In South Africa, 23% of teachers and 23% of learner cohort are from KwaZulu-Natal. The province has a total budget of R34 billion. These basic infrastructure and educational resources have a profound impact on the nature and quality of the curriculum that can be delivered. A sum of R40 billion is needed to elevate the infrastructure backlog. 25
