The Initial Teacher Education Research Project Report on performance in ITERP Maths test - Lynn Bowie, December 2015
The Initial Teacher Education Research Project (ITERP) studied the BEd curricula for mathematics and language and literacy for teachers intending to teach in the Intermediate Phase at 5 universities (Taylor, 2014; Deacon, 2016). In addition, tests in maths and English were used to assess the extent to which samples of 4th-year students and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) from these universities had mastered the content of these subjects, at the level the primary school curriculum. This document provides a summary of the performance of the 4th year students who wrote the pilot test in 2014 and the NQTs who wrote the revised test in 2015.

JET Exchanges 5/2023: The Grade R Mathematics and Language Improvement Programme
The 5th JET Exchanges shares information about the Grade R Mathematics and Language Improvement Programme (MLIP) in which JET is a partner, describing the context in which the programme is being implemented before providing details on the programme itself. Foundational mathematics and literacy skills are premier issues in South African classrooms, both for learners as well as educators. South Africa has invested in several reading and mathematics interventions in the past years; however, setbacks like the COVID-19 pandemic rolled back progress that had been made. According to a background report by Spaull for the 2030 Reading Panel, If learning loss estimates are correct and SA does manage to get back onto the prepandemic improvement trajectory, it will still take 86 years from 2023 up to 2108 until all Grade 4 children can read for meaning in SA (Spaull, 2023, 8). Currently, 65% of learners lack the skills needed to progress in language and mathematics (Gauteng Education Development Trust, 2021, 7). Considering the challenging landscape for advancing effective mathematics and literacy interventions, the Grade R MLIP has led efforts toward improving outcomes in these areas for all schools in Gauteng Province offering Grade R from 2022 through 2024.
