OPSA's Unique Assessment Solution
(CAPS aligned, term-to-term and grade progression)
Affordable, Independent Assessment for Homeschooling Families
The Bela Bill mandates that homeschool parents must have their children assessed regularly by an independent assessor. Traditionally, this can be a significant financial burden, with costs typically reaching up to R1500 per assessment.
Recognizing this challenge, OPSA now offers a unique and cost-effective solution. Our assessment program is designed to provide the same level of independent evaluation, but at a fraction of the cost.
This ensures that every homeschooling family can meet the requirements and track their child's performance without the hefty price tag.
How It Works
We conduct the assessments online, under your supervision, using SACE-registered teachers. Our assessment system includes two types of papers:
1. Online Answer Papers
- Format: Your child answers questions online.
- Grading: The system marks the answers automatically.
- Results: Immediate results are available.
- Review: You can review the answers to identify mistakes and areas for improvement.
- Limitations: This paper is normally subject to a time limit and can only be done once.
2. Practical Tasks
- Format: Your child completes tasks such as writing essays or reading.
- Submission: You upload the task or video.
- Grading: SACE-registered teachers mark the tasks and provide feedback.
Comprehensive Reporting
Once all the marks are captured in the system, a report is issued by a SACE-registered teacher. This report is compliant with CAPS and is accepted by the DBE as an independent assessment.
Cost-Effective
This comprehensive assessment solution costs only R250 per term. It includes all subjects and the report.
