Dear SA expresses concern over Bela Bill.
Civil society organisation Dear SA has expressed concern over the Basic Education Laws Amendment , which seeks to revise essential education laws in the country. The organisation says that not enough public sentiment or opinion has been considered as far as the bill is concerned.They’re concerned about the criminalisation of parents and caregivers whose children are not attending school.
Dear SA Spokesperson, Nolu Maki, says, “Our purpose is to give the public to participate and have their say on this BELA Bill, and for this bill alone we’d had more than 90% of the people who have said they are not for this Bill and those people, of course, they’re parents who have concerns around this Bill.
