To enable a TLE student to earn a National Certificate I at Grade 10 and National Certificate II at Grade
12, the following sample shown how subjects in the area of home economics can be offered up to Grade 12. If
you want your TLE student to acquire a livelihood skill, the TLE subjects must be programmed in such a way
that as early as the exploratory courses in Grades 7 and 8 subjects must be arranged to ensure the same. In
other words, it is important that schools have a clear curriculum map for the guidance of all. ( See sample of a
curriculum map in Home Economics below). It cannot be a trial-and-error or a hit-and-miss way of doing thing.
Refer to the Grade 11 and 12 Curriculum Guide for more examples.
