Twenty-five years into our challenging democracy, education remains a right enshrined in our beloved Constitution and one which should be protected by all patriotic South Africans. Whether one looks at basic education or higher education, access to providing South African kids, especially black kids, with quality education remains a challenge which MEC Lesufi and his team are attacking head-on.
The language barrier remains a huge problem which is constantly being used to counter efforts by MEC Panyaza Lesufi to open access to these schools, which have for a long time deliberately excluded black kids. I mean, we live in the same country; although our backgrounds remain very different, we share the same national flag and, ultimately, the same national anthem. So why is it a problem when we want to gain access to these schools, share and level the playing fields?
I for one know how embarrassing it is living in a township and having to beg for acceptance at white schools simply because you don’t live in the area. I remember my grandmother having to ask her colleague for permission to use their address through which she would then use to enrol me at a school.
That's what happens when you give BA students a platform....
DM is losing the plot.
Useless!!!!!
Why can’t we build our own schools. We are more than 30m. Yet we fail to even bake bread and sell it among ourselves. Leave white ppl alone. You are your own enemy here. Lesufi/anc must deal with satdu please...
For renaming schools instead of building schools?
And then give us the 'why not' to balance the report.
