INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THE RELAB (REMOTE LEARNING ACTIVITY BOOKLET)
The pandemic has forced schools to resort to the implementation of rotational timetables-where learners who
are at home during normal schooling must continue learning. Hence RELAB as a strategy towards the
deployment of remote learning.
The RELAB is underpinned by the following Legislative demands:
a) Responding to GDE Strategic goal 2 promoting quality education across all classrooms and schools
b) DBE Circular S13 of 2020 the requires the GDE to support the implementation of the Recovery Annual
Teaching Plan (RATP)
c) GDE Circular 11 of 2020 requiring districts to issue Learning Activity Packs to support schools for
lockdown learning. Understanding learning constraints at home as majority of learners do not have
access to devices or data to use for online learning. Many households are depending on schools to
provide them with learning resources packs
RELAB is designed in a study guide format, where the content is briefly explained with related concepts as
revision, in the form of e.g. notes, mind-maps, concept progression from the previous grade/s followed by
exemplar exercises then practice exercises/problems . The exercises are pitched at different cognitive levels
to expose learners at Grade 10 & 11 to these different cognitive levels of questioning. The NSC diagnostic
reports in different subjects have revealed that learners fail to analyse questions and as a result fail to respond
accordingly.
The RELAB is intended to ensure that learners work on exercises as per topics taught while at school. These
exercises must be completed at home, fully and learners will receive feedback as groups or individually at
school. It is therefore of paramount importance that teachers mark the work with learners in class, as a way
of providing feedback. Educators must diagnose learner responses, remediate where necessary and plan
further intervention.
Educators are encouraged to create WhatsApp groups to remind learners on what is expected of them in a
particular week/ day(s). There shouldn’t be a backlog on curriculum coverage as content will be covered
simultaneously. Feedback from learners at home will confirm usage of the RELAB material.
RELAB further prepares learners for formal assessment.
