[lg policy] Govt says all systems go on school curriculum News - National | 2019-02-01Page no: 7 by Govt says all systems go on school curriculum RUTH KAMWI PRIME minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila says the government has allocated resources to cover the costs of implementing the revised school curriculum. Recently, some principals, teachers' unions and political parties raised concern about the challenges encountered during the implementation of the revised system, including insufficient classrooms for Grade 10s, the acquisition of materials for technical schools, science kits for laboratories and textbooks, as well as the training of teachers. Before the review, the secondary school phase consisted of Grades 8 to 12 with Grades 8, 9 and 10 designated as the junior secondary phase, and Grades 11 and 12 as the senior secondary phase. Under the revised curriculum, the junior secondary phase consists of Grades 8 and 9, with Grade 10 having been moved up to the senior secondary phase. Kuug

That this dramatically dwindled percentage is now cited by UP to justify what he says is an unconstitutional policy, is pure duplicity, he says.
