Hoe om rapporte te lees

Die skooljaar is verby en al wat nou voorlê is skole wat rapporte of verslae aan leerlinge van graad 1 tot 11 uitgee. Hierdie verslae is soms moeilik om te interpreteer, omdat terminologie gebruik word wat nie altyd vir ouers verstaanbaar is nie. ‘n Rapport of verslag sal altyd die lys van vakke wat die leerling deur die jaar gehad het lys met hetsy ‘n vlak (1-7) of ‘n persentasie wat behaal is. Die meeste verslae sluit ook die graad gemiddeld in om aan te dui hoe die leerling teenoor die graad presteer het.
