The SABC and the Department of Basic Education have launched a multi-media learner support initiative under the banner: COVID-19 Learner Support aimed at limiting the impact of the lockdown on the school calendar. The initiative is part of the broader efforts to prevent a total loss of the school year since the lockdown was announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa as a measure to combat the spread of COVID-19.
The programme is scheduled to start on April 9, 2020 and will broadcast across three SABC TV Channels and 13 Radio stations with online support. The series will provide curriculum support lessons to learners in Grades 10, 11 & 12 and Early Childhood Development (ECD). Some of the subjects covered include Maths, Physical Sciences, English FAL, Life Sciences and Accounting. A variety of African languages are also covered under the ECD basket.
Links to the various resources are available on the Department of Education website.
