Which curriculum does Impaq follow?
Impaq (and the Impaq Online School) follows the national curriculum, known as the CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement), the same curriculum followed by public schools in South Africa.
Why? CAPS is pegged on the national qualification framework (NQF) which is internationally recognised. This means that learners registered with us will not be exposed to content and assessments that are inferior to the level of learning that is required of the various ages, levels and abilities. This ensures that your learner will conform to the standards required from schools.
By following a curriculum, that is at the same level as that of schools, ensures that your child would be:
- able to enter a school if he/she would prefer to do so,
- allowed to access higher education, as higher education institutions require entrance qualifications to be accredited, recognisable and exportable, and
- able to easily integrate into the workplace as employers will be knowledgeable about the learner’s profile of competencies.
