(i) Poor Literacy and Numeracy Skills ANA results in 1-9 Grades, for both Numeracy and Languages have been consistently poor. This motivated the development of an improvement plan for these subjects. The Province developed the Literacy and Numeracy Strategy which gives a framework to guide the KZN Provincial Department to improve learner performance in Literacy and Numeracy. The purpose of the strategy was to support improved learning and teaching in the classroom to improve learner performance. (ii) Standard Reading Programme One of the key features of the Literacy and Numeracy Strategy is reading. A KZN circular no 62 0f 2011 communicating a compulsory 30 minute reading period daily was sent to schools. To support schools in effective utilisation of the reading, a manual on “How to develop and implement a reading programme” has been developed. This is a practical handbook for teachers highlighting several approaches to reading promotion. This manual was supplied to schools. Each circuit manager is required to ensure that schools under their jurisdiction observe the reading period. In going forward the department will introduce a standardised reading assessment across the province in order to ensure that the acquisition of reading skills can be entrenched across the system. 3.2.3 LTSM The Literacy and Numeracy Strategy was also supported by the use of Learning and Teaching Support Material (LTSM). This was to promote a text rich environment. In this regard, the Department provided learners with Literacy and Numeracy Workbooks to support these areas of study. The Department of Education provides LTSM to schools in two forms. There is LTSM that is provided through the allocations from norms and standards for school funding. The second form of LTSM is provided through the allocation of funding for the supply of library materials and resources through the Education Libraries and Information Technology Services (ELITS) Directorate. The supply and distribution of LTSM from the norms and standards is managed through a managing agent. The managing agent has been contracted for the period 2010/11 to 2012/13. In this regard, the Department of Education purchases LTSM on behalf of schools without 21c function in terms of the South Africa Schools Act. There are 3 185 schools in this category. The section 21c schools purchase LTSM on their own subject to them meeting conditions set by the Department. There are 2775 schools in this category. 3.3 Matric Intervention Programme After the release of NSC results in January 2012, the Province of KwaZulu-Natal analysed the performance of learners for each subject in each District as well as the general performance of schools in each of the 12 Districts. Consequently, the Department of Education developed a programme comprising of different intervention activities for the improvement of Matric results in 2012 and beyond. 36
