3.3.6 Students complained of a general shortage of study material. At the time of the visit the Grade 10 study material had not yet been received. The region emphasised that, in terms of policy, it was only required to provide ABET Levels 1 to 4 with study material. The centre provided the detail of the service providers that still needed to deliver the textbooks and material for the new Grade 10 syllabus, and indicated that weekly follow-ups were being made. The school only catered for learners up to Grade 11; Grade 12 learners would still be classified as private learners in the 2012/13 financial year, and were still following the old syllabus. As they were private learners, they were required to fund their own study materials.
