Formal Programme of Assessment for Natural Sciences and Technology Grade 4


Learners’ marks for formal assessment are partly derived from their year mark for school-based assessment (SBA, 75%), and partly from their final examination mark (25%). This course provides a full formal Programme of Assessment aligned with the plan given on the Natural Sciences and Technology CAPS.
