Matric: Sesotho

The National Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) is the official framework that guides teaching and learning in all South African schools. It applies to every subject from Grade R to Grade 12 and sets out:

• The approved subjects for each grade.
• The programme and promotion requirements that determine how learners progress year to year.
• The assessment structure, including school-based assessments and final examinations.

For Sesotho, CAPS provides clear guidelines on how the language must be taught, the skills learners should develop, and how they will be assessed in their final matric exams. The curriculum covers reading, writing, listening, speaking, and literature (including poetry, drama, and prose), ensuring that learners gain both language proficiency and cultural understanding.

Here are the official CAPS documents for Sesotho at matric level:

• Sesotho Home Language 
• Sesotho First Additional Language
• Sesotho Second Additional Language
