Learning Outcomes (LOs) or Tasks represent the specific components that make up a subject's assessment structure. For public schools these are pre-loaded according to CAPS requirements. Administrators can create or edit components to meet specific school requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not delete a task?

If the task is currently used in an active Learning Programme, it cannot be deleted. First remove the task from the Learning Programme setup before deleting it.

What happens if I edit a CAPS task?

It may cause a mismatch with Pre-configured Promotion Formulas, as formulas look for specific task name and code matches. Only edit CAPS tasks when absolutely necessary.
