Goverment will never have the power over my children amd my children will not be vacinated or taught because the goverment said so I am the parent and not the goverment.

Stop non South African to use our schools for their children trafficking criminal activities.

How sure are we that a child bought to school with only an affidavit is the biological child of the applicant, paperwork is fraudulent.

I object to the BELA Regulations on admissions and school capacity. These regulations target the few schools that are functioning well instead of addressing the real crisis: the government has not built enough schools, expanded infrastructure, or provided adequate resources. It makes no sense to disrupt successful schools when the state should be increasing capacity, not forcing existing schools to absorb more learners than they can safely handle.

The regulations give the HOD excessive power to override school governing bodies on admissions, language policy, and capacity decisions. This centralises control in the state and weakens the role of parents and communities who know their schools best. Strong schools should not be punished with political interference.

The proposed capacity rules ignore basic realities such as class size, teacher workload, infrastructure limits, and safety. Forcing schools to exceed their capacity will reduce educational quality for everyone. Instead of fixing failing schools or building new ones, the Department is shifting its responsibility onto schools that are already performing well.

These regulations also undermine community and language rights by sidelining school governing bodies. A one‑size‑fits‑all approach imposed from above does not respect South Africa’s diversity or the constitutional role of SGBs.

The BELA Regulations do not solve the root problems in education. They simply burden the schools that are working while leaving systemic failures untouched. I request that the regulations be withdrawn or fundamentally revised to prioritise building more schools, improving infrastructure, and supporting teachers—rather than weakening successful schools through bureaucratic overreach.

South Africa is becoming more and more like North Korea and the German Reich.
Its all about taking control and they now target our youth.
Can someone please explain the objective of the Bela Act and the benefits to ALL CITIZENS??

The South African education system now caters for Foreigners more than citizens and it also support learners only, it does not speak for teachers, but it takes away their voice.

Every Parent who gave life to a child born into their family should have the right to choose their children's upbringing, their faith foundations and values, their education, their guidance, their extra murals. As a parent nurtures their children they learn what they enjoy and excel in those areas and parents can encourage them to accomplish their dreams and succeed in schools, universities and in life. President Nelson Mandela knew the importance of our children's futures and encouraged good education . Boxing kids in and dictating their up bringing is a criminal offense. How can a teacher or government know what is best for your child? The time a parent spends with their children from birth to adulthood is longer than the time spent at a school under the supervision of teacher. Immunisation should be a choice (the variants change at a rapid rate and aren't efficient in many cases, it prevents our immune systems to not function the way it should be building it's own immunity against all diseases......take for instance Malaria only visitors to that area needs to use Malaria medication due to the fact that they aren't exposed to Malaria over a long period of time. Those that live in that area, their immune systems have been able to build an immunity up against the Malaria. So why are we pushing vaccination and Who is benefitting from it. Teachers should also not be allowed to dictate to a parent to get their children labelled as an ADD or ADHD case when their diets are lacking Essential Fatty Acids and good wholesome foods.. a predominantly plant based foods. Admissions to schools should be regulated to areas where people live, to reduce living costs to a minimum, in a case we're parents would like their children to be enrolled to improve their lifestyles and send them to Other Schools should be considered and is their choice to increase their living costs, but preferences should be given to people in their neighbourhoods, it will avoid traffic congestions..

South African citizens should be given priority first, when the selection and zoning process take place. Non South Africans should pay for education received annual, provided that they have all the requirements needed for being in the country.

South African schools are unable to absorb the pressure of illegal foreigners crowding our schools. Teachers are under pressure because the classrooms CANNOT accomodate 40 to 60 children per class. Priority admissions should be for South Africans, SA schools for South African children , not the other way around. South African children are rejected by schools in the areas where they live because it has become the norm for schools to accomodate the children of illegal foreigners first. This has to stop. Enough is enough !
