Picture: Armand Hough / Independent NewspapersThe South Africa n Democratic Teachers’ Union has again set its sights on Basic Education Minister, Siviwe Gwarube, after she failed to attend the signing of the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill into law at an event at the Union Buildings.
“Clause 4 of the bill gives the Department of Basic Education greater control over admissions policy and clause 5 compels the school governing body to submit the school’s language policy to the provincial head of department for approval,” Maluleke said in a statement. “We call on the minister to decide where she takes her orders. The ball is in the minister’s court. She must decide and make the president’s work easier by resigning, as she seems to be operating with two bosses,” Maluleke said.
Professor Wayne Hugo, from the School of Education at the University of KwaZulu-Natal said the Bela Bill was 10 years in the making and contained strong points on equality but there were potential consequences “that could play out on the ground”.
