• Literacy includes reading, writing, and communication skills.
• Numeracy includes basic arithmetic, problem-solving, and understanding of mathematical concepts.
• Life skills encompass various aspects such as personal and social well-being, environmental awareness, and physical education.

Intermediate Phase (Grades 4-6):

• Building upon the foundation phase, students delve deeper into subject areas such as language (home language and first additional language), mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, and life orientation.
• Language subjects typically involve more advanced reading comprehension, writing skills, and grammar.
• Mathematics expands to cover more complex concepts such as fractions, decimals, geometry, and basic algebra.
• Natural sciences introduce students to subjects like biology, physics, and chemistry in simpler terms, often with a focus on hands-on experiments and observations.
• Social sciences may include history, geography, and basic economics, fostering an understanding of the world and society.
• Life orientation incorporates aspects of personal development, health, social relationships, and citizenship.

Senior Phase (Grades 7):

• This phase further deepens the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous phases and prepares students for the transition to high school.
• Subjects may include language (home language and additional languages), mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, technology, economic management sciences, and life orientation.
• The curriculum becomes more specialized, allowing students to explore subjects in greater depth and begin to prepare for their future academic and career paths.
