Number of teachers and class size
To ensure quality of education, multiple studies have shown that an acceptable ratio is one teacher per 10 learners. As a teacher myself, it is an impossible task (especially for Grade R teachers) to be one teacher and have 30 learners in your class. Each learner needs individual attention to assist with developing basic and neccessary skills to flourish in Primary School and beyond. Without that one-on-one contact, learners will struggle throughought Grade 1-12 and beyond.
I am currently a Grade 1 teacher and have to teach the learners how to read and write. I have seen the impact and difference it makes in having 40 learners in a class versus 10 learners. The system is setting learners up to fail, rather than excell. It is truly devastating.

No, I do not support the proposed BELA regulations. These regulations excessively centralise control over admissions and capacity in the hands of provincial departments, eroding the autonomy of School Governing Bodies and parental involvement. This risks undermining school diversity, cultural and language preferences, and effective management, while potentially leading to overcrowding and lower education standards. South Africa’s schools need community empowerment, not further state overreach.
