hey directly impact how School Governing Bodies (SGBs) are elected, whether SGBs can pay teachers for extra coaching or weekend classes, how underperforming SGBs are managed, and how teacher development centres are built and run.
A school is the heart of a community. And any caring community would do their best for the children attending that school. The state should govern state affairs to the best of their ability and should not interfere or have the right to deside whether communities have development centres, how to run them, wether teachers will be paid exstra for coaching or weekend classes.

Schools should be governed and managed at provincial level with the requirements in place at local government level to ensure accountable dependable service delivery.

I strongly object to any BELA regulations that weaken parental involvement

Our children need better education—not simply more school hours and more bureaucracy. Parents must have a voice, SGBs must remain meaningfully involved, and every regulation must ultimately serve the best interests of learners.

I strongly object to any BELA regulations that weaken parental involvement and the authority of School Governing Bodies (SGBs) or unnecessarily increase government control over schools.

Parents must retain a meaningful voice in their children's education, and SGB elections and decision-making must remain transparent, fair and democratic.

I also strongly oppose the normalisation of weekend classes. Weekends should give learners time to complete homework, revise and reinforce what they learned during the week, rest and spend time with their families. More hours in the classroom do not automatically result in better education.

Government should focus on improving the quality of teaching, providing adequate resources and infrastructure, and supporting learners during the normal school week, rather than relying on additional regulations and extended school hours.

SGBs should be accountable where they fail, but intervention must be based on clear criteria and due process and should not be used to remove legitimate community participation.

Our children need better education—not simply more school hours and more bureaucracy. Parents must have a voice, SGBs must remain meaningfully involved, and every regulation must ultimately serve the best interests of learners.

This is act is total rubbish, whoever drafted this does not care about our children and the education system
    • What Supporters Say
      Closes corruption loopholes & stops double-dipping: Prevents wealthy schools from privately inflating state salaries, ensures tax compliance, and protects public funds from unauthorised bonuses.
    • What Opponents Say
      Creates administrative paralysis: A 3-month HoD waiting period for sports or extra math classes stifles extracurriculars and penalizes dedicated teachers who go above and beyond.
