The Department of Basic Education wishes to reiterate that schools for the visually impaired do indeed receive sighted workbooks as these are used for learners with low vision. The master copies of the Grade 1 to 6 English workbooks are nearly ready for printing and delivery. However, the order has to be re-issued as we can no longer conduct it through the Western Cape Education Department.
Master copies of Grades 1 to 3 in African languages are currently being developed by Pioneer and Braille services. The department has not yet ordered any textbooks as we are still awaiting a quotation from both publishers.
