The Department of Basic Education has announced that it plans to introduce several new school subjects to the curriculum in the coming year.
In its 2022/2023 annual performance plan published this week, the department said this will include full-scale implementation of coding and robotics for Grade R-3 and 7 in the 2023 academic year.
“As coding and robotics is a new initiative, the focus will be on the upskilling of teachers to be trained to teach this new subject in collaboration with higher education institutions.” “The sector notes that the future requires individuals who will be able to build robots and other sophisticated machines and to develop algorithms to code these machines.”
