New Curriculum And CALA Here To Stay

New Curriculum And CALA Here To Stay

Officials in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education have said that continuous assessment learning activities (CALA) are here to stay.

The Government is currently in the process of reviewing the competence-based curriculum and CALA has been the major contentious issue under the new curriculum.

Some parents, learners as well as teachers have been resisting the implementation of CALA.

The competence-based curriculum is being reviewed after its first seven-year cycle came to an end last year after being introduced in 2015.

Primary and Secondary Education Ministry Permanent Secretary Tumisang-Thabela said curriculum review does not mean that the Government was doing away with the new curriculum.

Addressing journalists during a curriculum review media engagement workshop, in Darwendale, Zvimba, Mashonaland West Province, Thabela said:

Our curriculum must be positioned to provide a sustainable base for the production of critical and skilled human capital that will propel the country into an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

… The new assessment model takes into cognisance pupils’ different abilities and flairs, including skills, inherent talents, values and other achievements both in and out of class.

These soft and hard skills observed over a period of time are then incorporated into the final examination marks.

The CALA have thus become a key part of how we accredit the overall performance of a learner as a system.

As we review the curriculum, all these aspects will also be reviewed to ensure they are in line with the educational aspirations of the country.

Thabela said the ministry will be conducting nationwide consultative meetings before producing the curriculum for the next seven-year cycle. She said:

The Ministry will also avail various platforms through which stakeholders can make their submissions while also holding external meetings with special interest groups.

Once all the contributions from stakeholders have come through, the Ministry will produce the 2023-2030 Curriculum Framework for Primary and Secondary Education (another seven-year cycle).

Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) research manager Francis Chirume said:

We are now assessing 21st-century skills, teamwork, time management, unhu/ubuntu, and leadership, all those skills will be assessed because they are pertinent and significant in our day-to-day lives.

We focus on peer and self-assessment. The learners should be in a position to judge the work of others so that they can improve.

Gone are the days when we teach for competition, we don’t assess for competition, we assess so that we find out what the learners are able to do and what they are not able to do. We assess so that we can tap the talent of our learners.

He said CALA are not extra work for teachers as this is similar to homework that has always been part of the education system.

The only difference, according to Chirume, is that the work is being standardised within schools.

Chirume said it is academic fraud when parents pay some individuals to do CALA assignments for their children.

I maintain that the way this CALA thing is being implimented is just a waste of learners time and resources. They say 'Cala is here to stay' the ussual dictactorship tendency thats characteristic of Zanu pf. They wont accept any input from different stakeholders because their children dont even learn this Zimsec curricullum . They want to throw this rubbish to us the povo who have children in these public schools. The Cala does not achieve a thing because it is an open secret that learners are just given tasks and solutions at the same time so as to just fullfil the requirement.

CALA is not a problem, the problem is resources with which to implement it. Some schools don't have basic textbooks. Meaningful CALA implementation requires more than just textbooks. Schools need internet to develop learners so that they meet today's challenges successfully. Equip the schools and noone will complain about CALA

Writing CALA and obtaining 30% are 2 different things. One can write and still obtain 10% or less because there are no adequate research tools. Some schools are not in the network zone, neither do they have the updated textbooks. From my point of view, it is being used as a whipping tool to negative and resistant parents' children. So writing CALA is not guarantee for a pass. one requires to study hard to obtain at least 60% from the actual exam and CALA adds at least 15% for one to obtain quality result. I'm also surprised to here some circles claiming to level the examination ground by not doing extra lessons but I feel the ground has never been level and it will never be level. A child from Mahenye, Mkumbula or Lomolihito in Gwanda and the one at Prince Edward, Dominican Convent are not at a level ground but equal time and measuring yardstick. Kumatsonyonyo hakuna kana bhuku zvaro, hakuna kana Network, hakuna foni yacho. How can the ground be level. Some schools enroll cream at form using grade 7 results yet other schools vanoti huyai mose vakapasa nevakafoira, vasina mari nevasina. Haa, weduwe the ground is never level Some schools have good accomodation for staff and learning rooms while others do not have. Some have furniture while others are sitting on stones, bricks or log benches ad we say the ground is level. Uuummm. Some classes have 90 plus learners while others stick to 25 to 35 learners per class and we still term that level. Yaah, the gvt is trying. There so many things that makes the ground rugged other than being level. Let's get back to zoning and remove the net at form one enrollment first and we can talk about levelling the ground. Provide schools with similar facilities, structures
