TEACHERS have urged government and the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) to set aside the implementation of Continuous Assessment Learning Activities (CALA) because of disruptions caused by Covid-19.
CALA refers to various learning activities or assessments that require students to conduct detailed research based activities in specific areas where they incorporate practical activities such as data collection through interviews, questionnaires, checklists, observations and experiments.
In March 2021, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, announced the urgent revival of the continuous assessment framework for 2021 candidates meaning the activities are being done by grade seven, form four and upper six students.
