The National Benchmark Tests: The Academic Literacy test

Part of a series of videos filmed during a workshop held in the Western Cape for secondary school educators. This workshop was called "Demystifying the NBTs" and it sought to explain why the NBTs are used by universities, how learners (nationally and regionally) have performed on the NBTs, and the kind of work learners might face at university and how to prepare them for this.
This video introduces the concept of Academic Literacy and provides background to the NBT Academic Literacy test.
