BACKGROUND The 2017 Learner Performance improvement plan is informed by the Department’s resolve and commitment to improve the quality of learner performance across all Grades in Public and Independent schools and ensuring that learners are developed to realize their full potential and capabilities in preparation for the challenges in life and work after they have completed schooling.

BACKGROUND (CONTINUED)
In drafting the plan, the following critical policies and guidelines have been considered: The National Development Plan (NDP), Vision 2030. Mpumalanga Vision 2030. Action Plan to 2019 , Towards the realisation of schooling 2030. Schooling Transformation and Reform Strategy (STaRS). National Strategy for Learner Attainment (NSLA). Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) Grades R – 12. 5 year Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) – 2019.

BACKGROUND (CONTINUED)
The plan is further informed by the following developments: Reports on the implementation of the Mathematics Science and Technology (MST) Strategy. Past Annual National Assessment (ANA) results and National Senior Certificate (NSC) Results. Reports on the implementation of previous LPIPs Report of the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) on the curriculum support, and monitoring provided Districts to schools

PURPOSE The intention of the 2017 Learner Performance Improvement Plan (LPIP) is to: Increase learner performance by 10% across all grades Increase learners performance by 10% across all subjects Increase Grade 12 learner performance from 77% to 87% Improve learner performance at districts, circuits and schools by 10%. Increase the percentage of learners passing at bachelor level by 5%. Increase the number of learners taking Mathematics and Physical Science in Grade 10 – 12. Increase the number and percentage of learners passing Mathematics and Physical Sciences at 50% and above by 5%.
