NSC Curriculum for Out-of-School Candidates, Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy
The Department of Education has established working groups to adapt the NSC to accommodate out-of-school candidates in the areas of Language, Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy, Social and Human Sciences, and Natural Sciences. The NSC for Out-of-School Candidates is to be equivalent in value and status to the normal NSC, although the curriculum and the mode of delivery will be different. The primary task of the mathematical working group is to develop appropriate curricula for Mathematics (Dr Carol Bohlmann) and Mathematical Literacy (Mr Robert Prince), which will also include Learning Programme Guidelines and Subject Assessment Guidelines. It is important that we engage academics from across the Higher Education sector to obtain input on different aspects of the proposed curricula. To this end delegates at the 2009 SAMS Congress are invited to participate in a special session to consider the Mathematics curriculum.
