President Cyril Ramaphosa said last month that government should act swiftly to address the backlog in the education sector. He said poor infrastructure is detrimental to children’s rights. Ramaphosa spoke at the opening of the refurbished Marobathota high school at Moria outside Polokwane in Limpopo – one of the provinces with backlogs in providing schools. Prior to the election, the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, also indicated that it forms part of her department’s action plan to include Grade R as part of the compulsory school levels. Motshekga said the aim is to ensure that no child is left behind and that all children have access to quality education from a young age. The minister told the media in Pretoria that one of her department’s successes was that during her term at least 50 percent of learners registered in grade one passed matric. Motshekga said the department is committed to greater accountability and more efficient management at school, community and district levels. Considering these statements, the discussion explores what approaches and commitments to education can be expected from the 6th national parliament?

The Federation of School Governing Bodies, Fedsas, said the Department of Basic Education should rather focus on tackling the challenges in the foundation phase than enforcing history on all pupils. History replaces Life Orientation as a compulsory subject but is it wise to replace it? [Die Federasie van Skoolbestuursliggame, Fedsas, sê die Departement van Basiese Onderwys behoort eerder daarop te fokus om die uitdagings in die grondslagfase aan te pak as om geskiedenis op alle leerlinge af te dwing. Geskiedenis vervang Lewensoriëntering as ‘n verpligte vak maar is dit wys om dit te vervang?]

What role did academics play in the discourse? [Politici, ekonome, studente, werkerskorps, burgerregtegroepe en vakbonde weeg gereeld in oor hoe hulle dink die land se toekoms moet lyk.

Political killings in South Africa are nothing new. The Moerane Commission investigated political murders in KwaZulu-Natal. What is the relevance today of the then political murders of freedom fighters like Dulcie September, Anton Lubowski and Chris Hani? [Politieke moorde in Suid-Afrika is niks nuut nie. Die Moerane Kommissie het ondersoek ingestel na politieke moorde in KwaZul-Natal. Wat is die relevansie vandag van die destydse politieke moorde op vryheidsvegters soos Dulcie September, Anton Lubowski en Chris Hani?]

The chairman of the ANC’s social transformation subcommittee, Lindiwe Sisulu, said the party wants to rebuild the social structure of society. Poverty, a poor legal system and education are the issues they want to pay attention to. How do we approach social cohesion? [Die voorsitter van die ANC se sosiale transformasie sub komitee, Lidiwe Sisulu, het gesê die party wil die sosiale struktuur van die samelewing herbou. Armoede, ‘n swak regstelsel en onderwys is van die kwessies waaraan hulle voortaan aandag wil gee. Hoe benader ons sosiale kohesie?]
