7. NWU Approach for 2009
In setting admission and placement requirements for 2009:
Six subjects will be counted to compute the APS because a learner
can attain an NSC after condonation of one subject in which a 1
(0%-29%) had been achieved. By 2009 the APS will be
automatically computed by the NWU Student System.
The admission approach of “the most applicable assumed learning”
(i.e. looking at outcome skills from NSC subjects) currently followed
by the NWU is applied in advising learners, teachers and parents
about learners’ subject choices for the NSC from 2007.
All NSC subjects (whether designated or merely recognised) are
counted on the same basis, e.g. an achievement at level 5 in
Tourism and a level 5 in Mathematics will both count 5 towards the
APS. In the light of the current development stage of the NSC
dispensation this will ensure greater uniformity, clarity and simplicity,
to be refined as experience with the new NSC subjects grows.
