An overview of the EMS Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement
This series is based on the National Curriculum Statement Grades R–12 (NCS, January 2012) which is the policy document for learning and teaching in South Africa. The NCS consists of three documents, namely:
• Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) for all approved subjects for Grades R–12
• National Policy pertaining to the Programme and Promotion Requirements of the National Curriculum Statement Grades R–12
• National Protocol for Assessment Grades R–12 (January 2012).
The CAPS document for EMS has four sections: • Section 1 – Introduction to the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements • Section 2 – Overview of EMS, time allocations and requirements to offer it as a subject
• Section 3 – Overview of topics, annual teaching plan and content clarification • Section 4 – Assessment guidelines in EMS.
Sections 2, 3 and 4 of the CAPS document, together with the National Policy pertaining to the Programme and Promotion Requirements of the NCS, represent the norms and standards of the National Curriculum Statement Grades R–12. Together these documents are the basis for determining minimum outcomes, processes and procedures for the assessment of learner achievement in public and independent schools.

The overview of content given in Section 2 of the EMS CAPS provides a useful summary of what EMS as a subject aims to teach learners:
