CAPS can have several meanings depending on the context:
-
CAPS in Education:
CAPS stands for Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement. It is a comprehensive policy document used in South African schools from Grade R to Grade 12. CAPS provides detailed guidance on curriculum content, assessment guidelines, program requirements, and national assessment protocols to ensure uniform and structured teaching and fair assessments across schools in South Africa. -
Caps as Headgear:
A cap is a type of flat headgear, usually with a visor. Caps fit closely to the head and are typically worn for warmth or to block the sun's rays from the eyes. Caps have various styles and types, including baseball caps, berets, beanies, and many others, and they are popular in sports and fashion. -
CAPS in Policing:
CAPS stands for Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy. It is a community policing philosophy that involves a partnership between police and community members to identify and solve neighborhood crime problems collaboratively rather than just reacting to crimes. -
CAPS in Medical/Prescription:
CAPS can also be an abbreviation for "capsules" in medical prescriptions. -
CAPS in Acronym for Capital Letters:
Sometimes, CAPS is simply used as an abbreviation for writing in capital letters.
Among these, the most common references to CAPS are related to education policy in South Africa, the type of headgear, and community policing in Chicago. If you have a specific context in mind, I can provide a more focused explanation.
