Procurement of Learner-Teacher Support Material in the Northern Cape Province – Infographic

BACKGROUND • The Northern Cape Department of Education (NCDoE) has centrally procured textbooks since 2011 for the implementation of Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS), in response to the National directive in 2010. • The procurement was based on the department withholding the norms and standards through Learner Teacher Support Material (LTSM) allocation from schools in order to benefit from the economies of scale as well as ensure universal coverage through cross-subsidisation.
