NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS: REGISTRATION OF BLIND TITLES

The department requested publishers to register blind titles which were intended to appear on the Interior Identification Sheets. However, as the registration progressed it became clear that many publishers provided blind titles which, while omitting the publisher’s name, included a series title that easily identified the pack.

To resolve this problem the department has decided not to include the blind title on the Interior Identification Sheet this year. Publishers who printed their “pack covers” during the early part of last week will need to reprint them to obtain the amended, anonymous Interior Identification Sheets.

As per the invitation please note that “Appeals will be limited to instances where an error has occurred in the review process. For example, a topic is mistakenly claimed to be omitted from a text or a factual error is reported when there is current scientific evidence to support it.”

REPORTING

As per the invitation to publishers to submit Learner and Teacher Support Material for evaluation, please note the following:

The screening took place in two phases:
Phase one comprised a filtering process to determine the shortlist of titles. In essence this amounted to checking if the material is aligned to the curriculum. Submissions that were accepted at this phase went on to be screened in phase two.

Phase two comprised a rating exercise, to evaluate the usability of material in different contexts; the accuracy and currency of the content; and language.

In terms of reporting, submissions that pass onto phase two will have two reports i.e. phase one and phase two reports. Submissions that are not accepted at phase one will have only one report i.e. the phase one report.

Grades 1-3
Information on the Foundation Phase reports will follow shortly.

NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS: THE DELIVERY OF MATERIAL THAT IS NOT CORE TO THE WAREHOUSE

It has come to our attention that publishers are sending materials to be screened that are not core materials as outlined in the invitation to publishers i.e. calculators; toys; stationery, etc. Please note that these materials will not be accepted by the warehouse and the courier who brought these items will have to take them back. We appeal to publishers not to send these supplementary materials. Please send only the core material that has been registered, accepted and paid for.

THE INDICATION OF COMPLEMENTARY MATERIAL ON THE EXTERIOR IDENTIFICATION SHEET

“Complementary material that should be considered with this submission. (Please indicate title on submission and ISBN). This is applicable only to the components listed in the categories called for submissions”.

Please note that this applies to “Registered Packs – Accepted” which have been paid for only. It refers to cases where a publisher’s submission is complemented by another registered submission in a different category, which has been accepted and paid for. In such cases, the publisher will indicate this on the space provided, by writing the Pack ID, the title as well as the ISBN of the complementary submission. This will enable us to screen the materials together.

Example:
A publisher submits material for FP-3 (Phonics Programme and Teacher’s Guide), and the publisher says that it is complemented by FP-2 (Big Books) which has been accepted and paid for. The publisher will then indicate this by writing the Pack ID, the title as well as the ISBN of the FP-2 Pack on the Exterior Identification Sheet of the FP-3 Pack and vice versa.

NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS: THE “FP-9: MATHEMATICS” EXAMPLE IN A PREVIOUS NOTICE

An example was provided in a previous notice to explain the number of copies required for an FP-9 category Pack. In this example a Learner Book was used, and the Workbook was not mentioned but may just as well have been included in the example. Take note therefore that this example is not prescriptive in terms of the exact combination of components for a FP-9 category Pack and that publishers need to adhere to the components for the FP-9.
