FET Phase: Grade 10 – Grade 12

FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING (FET PHASE)

Grade 10 -12

The NCS is equally used as the guiding principles, with emphasis on Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS); in teaching, learning and assessment.

 Significance of the Phase

This is the last phase just before Tertiary Studies. The relevance of the phase is portrayed as the last step towards choosing a career at the School Level. A phase where fine teaching and learning should shape a learner’s academic and professional life. It is the final phase where learners have to decide on subject choices, career direction and possibly work options when they finish school after Grade 12.
