    Greetings from South Africa

    Hi all,

    A friendly hello from an edugeek in South Africa. Came upon the site while looking for some education resources and so far it looks pretty cool.

    I will be posting a bunch more in the months/years to come

    And thanks for the welcome all the rest of you!

    Badly mainly

    Essentially it's broken up into Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education.

    The part where they're actually in school (as opposed to University) is:

    Foundation phase: Grade 1-3 (Age 6-10)
    Intermediate phase: Grade 4-6 (10-13)
    Senior phase: Grade 7-9 (13-16) - Kids are allowed to leave after Grade 9 if they want :/
    Senior Phase part 2: 10-12 (16-18)

    I work in the Intermediate phase Cute kids.

    They also have a curriculum that has been rejected as a failure by numerous countries ( Outcomes based Education) and they now have a Matric (final Exam) that you can’t fail 
