The ANA results were fair as the Province was able to compete with other provinces though the performance was worrying, especially from Grade 3 upwards. The results had been analysed and assessed and the conclusion was that the Province had a problem with literacy and numeracy. The Department had launched a Literacy and Numeracy Strategy together with further training for teachers. Many teachers had already attended courses, specifically in Mathematics and Science. The Department intended to create a business plan for the establishment of a Maths and Science Academy.
