PREFACE
This syllabus was initially produced as a result of the Basic School Curriculum Reforms carried out by the Ministry of Education, under the Basic
Education Sub Sector Investment Programme (BESSIP) from 1999 to 2002.
The reforms were necessitated by the need to solve long-standing problems in the existing curriculum such as being overloaded,
compartmentalized, examination oriented and inflexible. The reforms were also an attempt by the Ministry of Education to capture the latest
technological, economic, political and social developments in a fast changing world. In response to these reforms, the syllabuses have been
revised in five learning areas. The learning areas are; Literacy and Languages, Integrated Science, Creative and Technology Studies,
Mathematics and Social and Developmental Studies. The curriculum focuses on the development of literacy, numeracy, practical skills and
personality.
It is my sincere hope that this 2012 outcomes based syllabus will greatly improve the quality of education provided at Lower and Upper
Primary School level as defined and recommended in the policy document, ‘Educating Our Future’ 1996.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

curriculum and also to accord them an opportunity to make suggestions for the new curriculum. The Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational
Training and Early Education wishes to express heart-felt gratitude to all those who participated for their valuable contributions, which

Zambia, the University of Zambia, Schools and other institutions too numerous to mention, for their steadfast support.

syllabus in one-way or another.

INTRODUCTION
This revised version of the syllabus reflects the educational requirements as stated in the policy document, ‘Educating Our Future’ (1996)
which emphasises, among other things, literacy and life skills. Clear outcomes have been stated in such a way that the content is spread out to
show the knowledge, skills, and values to be attained by learners in school.
The syllabus has two parts. These are; Literacy and Language.
This covers reading and writing at Grades 1-7 and consolidating and further developing the literacy skills in Zambian Languages.
The Language Component covers listening, comprehension, vocabulary, oral and written expression, reading, information
gathering, giving and following instructions, awareness of similarities between Zambian Languages, Zambian culture, life skills,
literature and culture, translations and crosscutting themes.

METHODOLOGY
The teaching methodology should be based on a communicative approach whose features include:
1. Integration of the basic literacy and language skills;
2. Using the literacy and language skills in real life situations;
3. Teaching literacy and language in context;
4. Using authentic teaching materials;
5. Using a variety of reading and writing activities, including writing about real experiences and for a real purpose;
6. Pacing learners in ability groups;
7. Using continuous assessment; and
8. Using varied learner-centred communicative, interactive and participatory techniques such as:
Role play
Drama
Problem-,solving
Information transfer
Pair or group discussion
Field trips or project work
Case studies
Debate
vii
GENERAL OUTCOMES FOR GRADES 1-7
The Listening and Speaking skills are very important. Learning to listen accurately and respond to the spoken word increases the learners’
confidence, builds up their receptive skills and allows them to be exposed to different forms of language.
This is the reason why listening and speaking skills are the basis of all language work.
b) Manipulate accurately and appropriately the core structures in the context of the functions set in (a) above;
c) Use language effectively in and out of school, and demonstrate by responding in an appropriate way a spoken message;
d) Use the spoken language forms which are appropriate to different social contexts.
viii
2. Reading
In reading, a learner will be required to read for comprehension from the beginning, and then be introduced to the types of functional
reading, which will enable learners to gradually read for specific purposes in crucial areas.
a) Understand the different types of reading materials which they are likely to meet both in and out of school, i.e. texts and passages
in the Learner’s Books and graded supplementary readers, reading materials in real life, e.g. signs, instructions, etc.; and reading
materials related to other learning areas;
b) Have a reading vocabulary of at least 2500-3000 words, including a basic sight vocabulary of names, signs and labels needed by the
learner to operate in any society and be able to read with understanding a wide variety of narrative, functional and instructional
materials;
c) Read for pleasure and for specific information;
d) Read at a speed appropriate to their purpose (a speed of at least 100 words a minute is recommended for reading for pleasure by
the end of Grade 7);
e) Begin to read critically and make judgements on the materials read.
ix
Writing
Writing in Grades 1-7 comprises learning to form letters and write neatly and legibly (handwriting), learning to spell (spelling) and learning
to do grammatical exercises and controlled, guided and free writing. By the end of Grade 7, the learners should have acquired those
writing skills necessary for work in all learning areas for continued learning, and for the world of work if they do not continue beyond
Grade 7.
a) Produce the kind of writing which is likely to be required of them if they leave school after Grade 7, e.g. letters (both formal and
informal); filling in forms; writing telegrams; writing a simple report, etc.;
b) Produce the kind of writing in addition to the above that will be required of them in Grade 8, e.g. continuous free prose writing and
written work as required by other learning areas;
c) Spell and punctuate correctly;
d) Express clearly and correctly in writing their personal experiences, ideas, opinions and knowledge;
e) Take pride in their written work by writing work by writing neatly and keeping their work clean.
