The Learning Programme defines the academic structure for each grade and term. It determines which subjects, components and assessments are offered and establishes the weighting for marks calculation. The system is pre-loaded with CAPS-aligned subjects and components; schools must configure their specific requirements each academic year.

Frequently asked questions

Why can’t I edit the Mark Out Of after capturing marks?

The Mark Out Of field cannot be edited once learner marks have been captured, as changing the maximum would invalidate existing percentages. All captured marks for that assessment must be deleted before the structure can be modified.

How do I request a new subject that doesn’t exist in the system?

New subjects require specific LURITS/SA-SAMS codes for departmental reporting. Send the subject name, grade and LURITS number to support@d6plus.co.za.
