The Non-DoE Formula Support Plan lets your school ask OSM to activate promotion formulas for Non-DOE subjects and tasks, based on your school’s own weighting structure per term. It is an add-on that works alongside your CAPS Promotion Formula Plan, for schools that manage subjects outside the official Department of Education requirements.
This product allows schools to request that OSM activate promotion formulas for Non-DOE subjects and tasks, based on the school’s own weighting structure per term.
These subjects and tasks will not export to SA-SAMS, but they will still appear on learner report cards.
This plan works together with the OSM Add-on: Non-DoE Curriculum Support Plan, as tasks must first be created before promotion formulas can be configured correctly.
Communicating with the school to obtain the required information for formula setup
Setting up Non-DOE subject promotion formulas on the system
Making minor adjustments if requested by the school
The school must have a CAPS Promotion Formula Plan in place to qualify for this setup. This is an add-on product.
These are subjects or learning areas that fall outside the official DOE (Department of Education) requirements but are still managed internally by the school.
No. Non-DOE subjects and tasks will not export to SA-SAMS, but they will still be visible on learner report cards.
Promotion formulas rely on correctly structured tasks and assessments. The Non-DoE Curriculum Support Plan ensures these tasks are created first.
Only if the school is also on the Add-on: Non-DoE Curriculum Support Plan. In that case, OSM can create the tasks and assessments.
The school must notify OSM. Minor updates can be applied, depending on system structure and timing.
