Question NW1312 to the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
06 May 2022 - NW1312
Nodada, Mr BB to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
How did each province perform according to each of the seven criteria of the Inclusive Basket of Criteria reporting in the (a) 2019, (b) 2020 and (c) 2021 academic years?
Reply:
The Inclusive Basket of Criteria as a reporting mechanisms was adopted by HEDCOM & CEM, as a secondary reporting modality for the National Senior Certificate Results
The criteria have remained fairly constant over the last three years with a weighting attached to each criterion in 2019 and 2020 and a final Basket Score based on the summation of the scores. However, in 2021, it was agreed by HEDCOM and CEM to do away with the summation of the individual scores and to report on the individual criteria separately, so as to avoid the focus on one final score which defeats the purpose of presenting a group of indicators that more comprehensively reflect the performance of the system.
(a) In 2019 the Inclusive Basket of Criteria and the associated weightings were as follows:
