Important Documents

As a teacher it is often difficult to find all the necessary documents which will govern you whilst you are in service. Below I attempted to create a list of a few documents which you may find helpful in governing your practices inside and outside the classroom.

Legal Documents:

• South African Children's Rights Charter
• South African Bill of Rights

Policy Documents:

• CAPS English SAL (GET)
• CAPS IsiXhosa SAL (GET)
• CAPS English SAL (FET)
• CAPS IsiXHosa SAL (FET)
• NCS General Policy Document (R-9)
• Cambridge Secondary 1 English

For teachers who are struggling to understand the isiXhosa CAPS documents, apparently the language documents all cover the same content but in different languages. So choose the language you understand best and use that to help you translate the isiXhosa document. For more CAPS Documents visit the CAPS page on the Department of Basic Education website.
