The Western Cape Education Department (WCED), through the

provincial licence for Rubricate Junior and
Rubricate Senior in December 2005. Since
then, it has been in the process of being rolled out to all
schools in the province as well as teacher-training
facilities. Rubricating Works CC, in collaboration with WCED,

package into Afrikaans and developed Rubricate
Senior
databases for additional FET subjects. WCED
Curriculum Development staff members have worked closely with
Rubricating Works CC to refine, enhance and expand the
Rubricate packages. Rubricating Works staff have trained
and supported over 600 WCED curriculum staff, Khanya
facilitators and specifically-identified educators tasked to
train the many teachers on the ground.
