The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) says Foundation Phase teaching and learning will continue without interruption after the national curriculum catalogue is suspended for further review. WCED’s assurance is aimed at schools that rely on the catalogue to obtain Foundation Phase teaching and learning materials.
The statement addresses concerns that delays could affect classrooms while the review is under way. While outlets frame the issue as an effort to prevent disruption, the specific details of what changes the catalogue review may bring are not described in the available reporting. The focus remains on continuity of materials and learning support for younger grades during the period of suspension and assessment at the national level.
