G. Conclusion Informing the cyclic nature of curriculum planning and development Informing the planning and development of curriculum issues at district and school level. School visits conducted by Curriculum Officials to date have been limited and focused mainly on auditing of curriculum structures, curriculum documents, LTSM and workshop attendance. Such visits have therefore not yielded sufficient information about the levels of implementation of the NCS. To this end, the PCG 08/2007 is intended to supplement the dearth of information with regard to what is actually happening in classrooms in order for Curriculum Advisors to provide adequate support to teachers where necessary. It is essential that not only school support visits begin to feature prominently in action plans, work plans and weekly itineraries of curriculum personnel but also intensive classroom visits so that teachers can be supported in a practical and realistic manner. This PCG 08/2007 together with PCG 05/2006 must therefore be used extensively in the planning and execution of classroom monitoring and support visits. All officials in the Chief Directorate Curriculum Management, at both provincial and district levels, must demonstrate a sincere and total commitment to support continuous teacher development, as well as to improve the overall quality of teaching and learning in our province. After all, teachers hold the key to the effective and efficient implementation of the National Curriculum Statement in our schools. ………………………………………………… S.P.
