Tracking syllabus coverage on Kurasa is one of the biggest challenges teachers face, especially under CBC where learning happens progressively. On Kurasa Africa, syllabus coverage is tracked through formative assessments, not separate reports or manual records.
Every formative assessment you create contributes to showing how much of the syllabus has been covered, which strands and sub-strands have been taught, and where learning is still pending.
