The Textbook Evaluation Form serves as a critical quality control instrument within South Africa's educational framework, designed to standardize and systematize the assessment of educational materials. This document is essential when selecting, reviewing, or approving textbooks for use in South African schools, ensuring alignment with national curriculum standards and educational policies. It is specifically developed to comply with the South African Schools Act, CAPS requirements, and related educational legislation. The form encompasses comprehensive evaluation criteria including content accuracy, pedagogical effectiveness, cultural sensitivity, and technical quality. It is typically used by education departments, curriculum specialists, and subject matter experts during textbook selection processes, procurement decisions, and periodic reviews of educational materials.
