Homeschooling my Grade R learner

Assessments in Grade R
Learners in Grade R are not yet formally assessed through tests or exams; however, their progress is monitored. You (as the parent/guardian) or a tutor can assess your learner's progress. Remember that you have until 28 February of the following academic year to capture all marks for learners in Grades R to 9. While it is not necessary for you to submit any assessments to Impaq, it is important that you keep a portfolio of your learner's work for at least 3 years. Are you new to Impaq?

Registering with the Department of Basic Education
In South Africa, learners of compulsory school-going age (Grades 1 to 9 OR 7 to 15 years of age) must be registered for homeschooling. Legislation changes from time to time, and Grade R may become compulsory. Kindly liaise with your Provincial Department of Education around Grade R registration. Click here to learn more about registering your learner with the DBE.

Assesserings in graad R
Leerders in graad R word nog nie formeel geassesseer deur toetse of eksamens nie, maar hul vordering word deurlopend gemonitor. As die ouer/voog kan jy of 'n tutor jou leerder se vordering assesseer. Onthou dat jy tot 28 Februarie van die volgende akademiese jaar het om alle punte in te lees vir leerders in graad R tot 9. Alhoewel dit nie nodig is om enige assesserings by Impaq in te dien nie, is dit belangrik dat jy 'n portefeulje van jou leerder se werk hou vir ten minste 3 jaar. Is jy nuut by Impaq?

Registrasie by die Departement van Basiese Onderwys
In Suid-Afrika moet leerders van verpligte skoolgaande ouderdom (graad 1 tot 9 OF 7 tot 15 jaar oud) vir tuisonderrig geregistreer word. Die Bela-wetsontwerp is in Oktober 2023 goedgekeur, wat graad R verpligtend maak. Die beleid oor tuisonderwys is nie opgedateer om dit te weerspieël nie; Impaq beveel egter aan dat voogde van graad R-leerders aansoek doen om vir tuisonderrig te registreer. Klik hier om meer te wete te kom oor hoe om jou leerder by die DBO te registreer vir tuisonderrig.
