,PREFACE
Dear Grade 7 Learner!
We are very glad that you have received a copy of this Self-Study Guide to help you
through this very challenging school year.
The COVID-19 crisis has had a big impact on the entire world and on our lives. Everyone
has had to make big and small adjustments. Everyone is called on to be cautious but
also to be smart, creative and kind. People and institutions like schools and hospitals
are making frantic efforts to stay safe and protect each other and our loved ones. The
government, World Vision (IGATE-T), teachers and administrators are working hard to
ensure that learners continue learning in safe environments at home until the situation
stabilises.
By coming up with a study guide, we hope to bridge the learning gap and ensure that you
pass your Grade 7 Examinations.
We are proud of all the efforts that you have made so far and want to see you progress as
much as you can. We are with you and wish you much success.
