Response to Question (a)(iii); (b)(iii); (c)(iii)
In each case, the school was visited by a team comprising of the provincial head office and the district, and an audit was conducted and the reasons for the exceptionally poor performance was established and a turn-around plan would have been established for each school. The turn-around plan would address each aspect of teaching and learning that would have resulted in the dismal performance. This plan would have been monitored by both the district and the province in regular accountability sessions and on-site visits, to ensure that the elements of the plan are implemented. Where there is slow or no improvements, more drastic measures would have been implemented; e.g., replacement of the school principal, or members of the Senior Management Team; and/or the replacement of educators.
Note:
In terms of question (a)(ii)(cc); (b)(ii)(cc); (c)(ii)(cc), i.e. "the number of learners that left school in each year without completing Grade 12", the data provided refer to candidates who registered to write the examination at the beginning of the year, but did not pitch to write the examination. It is assumed that these candidates dropped out of school, but it could also imply that these learners were absent from the examination for a valid reason; and would have therefore, registered to write the June examination of the following academic year. Therefore, the numbers provided in Column D, are estimate figures, and the correct figures can only be determined if an audit is done of each candidate that registered and did not write the final examination.
