Motshekga said reforming the country’s schools’ curriculum was an important part of ensuring that South Africa kept up with the changing demands of the local and global labour market. She said her department was busy preparing educators ahead of introducing robotics and coding at schools. Motshekga added that they were also working on a plan to introduce new subjects in grades 10 to 12 in a bid to strengthen the country’s curriculum. “These will infuse cross-cutting themes such as entrepreneurship, digital literacy, climate change and citizenship into our curriculum.” She said they were also conducting a national assessment to determine how to better prepare pupils at the early childhood development level for the changes in curriculum.
