Assessments

All of the CAPS curriculum assessments have been pre-loaded into the system.  If you are a public school in South Africa, your subjects, learning outcomes/tasks/components and assessments will already be available in the system (there is no need to create it again). This function enables the user to add or edit assessments for specific learning outcomes/tasks/components of a subject.
