Abstract
‘From 2010, we undertook the development of Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) for the South African Sign Language (SASL) Grades R-12 which were completed and approved as policy in July 2014. For a long time, learners who are Deaf were persistently marginalised as they had been deprived of a home language, resulting in their education not being one of quality. This has impacted the extent of their retention within the system and their opportunities of studying further up to and including higher education institutions. This ground-breaking work has however, ensured that the Department complies with the provision of the South African Schools Act (84 of 1996) which recognises the SASL as a language of learning and teaching (LOLT). The CAPS for SASL therefore begins a new era in the educational experiences of Deaf learners in the system and is part of the Department’s commitment to improving the quality of education for all.’ [Forward]
