The Minister of Basic Education, Ms Siviwe Gwarube, has officially gazetted the first two sets of regulations under the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act, 2024 (BELA Act) for public comment.

Broadly, the two sets of regulations deal with classroom sizes and admission policies of public schools and come from the controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment Act, which was signed into law late last year.

According to the department, the two sets of regulations are just the first of many to come under the BELA Act, with the minister opting for a “modular release” approach to avoid delays.

Comments or representations are hereby invited from the public.
The Minister will consider all comments before finalising the regulations.
