Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has been criticised for his support of the bill - which, according to the DA at least, is another attempt to take over schools. | JasonFelix
Helen Zille is challenging Panyaza Lesufi to a public debate on the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill.
The official opposition has criticised the bill's changes to the powers of school governing bodies in controlling language and admission policies. Under the discriminatory BELA Bill, the head of provincial education departments and MECs, like Lesufi, will ultimately decide what language is taught in your child's school and who is admitted to the school."The ANC is attacking mother tongue education, especially Afrikaans, and will destroy our schools. The DA will not stand for this," she said.
