Abstract It is imperative to note that the study reported on attempted to reimagine a link between underachievement and attrition in curriculum implementation. The contextual factors that affected achievement and resulted in attrition were worth further scrutiny. The study further reported the results of a pilot study conducted in the Western Cape, South Africa. The effects of learner underperformance fuelling attrition rates were examined across the 10 different circuits of two districts in the area. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques of data collection were employed and data were analysed using descriptive and relational statistics with Pearson product correlation coefficient and regression analysis. It became evident that achievement costs, although difficult to quantify, are significant at schools, district and provincial levels. It was also noted that underachievement of Grade 12 learners had a bearing on the external factors of youth unemployment, poverty and long walking distance to school resulting in higher attrition rates. Only a handful of the Department of Basic Education officials pointed out that both teachers and learners view problems on different paradigms. It was further recommended that the Ministry of Basic Education should critically examine problems besetting Grade 12 learners and institute relevant policies to avoid future rippling effects.

重新构想课程实施中成就与损耗的联系

摘要必须指出的是，该研究报告试图重塑课程实施中成绩不佳与减员之间的联系。影响成就并导致人员流失的情境因素值得进一步研究。该研究进一步报告了在南非西开普进行的一项初步研究的结果。在该地区两个地区的10个不同赛道中，研究了学习者表现不佳导致人员流失率的影响。使用数据收集的定性和定量技术，并使用描述性和相关性统计以及Pearson乘积相关系数和回归分析对数据进行分析。显而易见的是，成就成本尽管难以量化，但在学校，地区和省级水平上都是巨大的。还应指出的是，12年级学生的学习成绩不佳与青年失业，贫困和上学距离长的外部因素有关，导致更高的流失率。只有少数基础教育部门的官员指出，教师和学习者都以不同的范式看待问题。还建议基础教育部认真审查困扰12年级学习者的问题，并制定相关政策，以避免未来的涟漪效应。只有少数基础教育部门的官员指出，教师和学习者都以不同的范式看待问题。还建议基础教育部认真审查困扰12年级学习者的问题，并制定相关政策，以避免未来的涟漪效应。只有少数基础教育部门的官员指出，教师和学习者都以不同的范式看待问题。还建议基础教育部认真审查困扰12年级学习者的问题，并制定相关政策，以避免未来的涟漪效应。
