Government is taking controversial changes for schools in South Africa to the public for feedback.
The Portfolio Committee on Basic Education Portfolio Committee on Basic Education will move to the next step of processing the controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill this week, starting the provincial public consultation process over the proposed laws.
Holding school governing bodies more accountable for disclosures of financial interests – including those related to their spouses and family members. The proposed laws faced major backlash during consultations with stakeholders in the latter months of 2022, when various organisations, unions, political parties and industry groups made presentations to the portfolio committee.
Groups were also outraged at the proposal to allow the sale of alcohol at after-hours events hosted by schools – while there are major questions hanging around the regulation of home schooling in the country.What was clear from the feedback from stakeholders is that the proposed laws need a lot of work, and that many need to be taken back to the drawing board or dropped altogether.
