2026-04-14 08:57:59 +02:00 | Annalize | No I do not | Undermining of religious/spiritual values | The evil of this world is becoming undenieable. Now they target the young and vulnerable. No ways will i allow the devil to influence my kids. God gave me the task of protecting my children and i will do so no matter what. In the beginning God created Man & Woman and thats that. Nothing in between. This has no place in any part of our lives. It is a lie that the enemy is leading so many to believe. I pray for those who are caught up in this lie. God does not make mistakes. If he made you a male then you are a male. If he made you a female then you are a female. We cannot alter Gods creation as we see fit. |

2026-04-14 08:13:55 +02:00 | Renier | No I do not | All of the above | This is blatant injection of political ideology and identity into the education system. The whole transgender movement is based on pseudo-science and has no place in our schools, or our society. It is the promotion of a mental illness as a lifestyle and confuses otherwise happy children into a world where many end up as suicide victims. The state has no right to teach these values that undermine my religious views, as well as family values. They should focus on getting kids to read and do math, not brainwash them to their world views. |

2026-04-13 11:31:00 +02:00 | Henco | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | The Implementation of the ECE toolkit is Absurd. - - It promotes a single ideological view on gender - It Introduces concepts children are not developmentally ready for - It Undermines parents’ rights to guide moral and cultural development The implementation and use of it is in contravention to my Rights as a Parent to teach my Children the Correct Family Values. We do NOT support it in any form or variance and will NOT accept it in any form or variance. |
2026-04-13 08:44:19 +02:00 | Stephan | No I do not | All of the above | Schools and the ECE Toolkit cannot decide and teach a certain specific worldview that is not aligned with what the parents or basic biology allow. As something as foundational as gender, it should fall fully on the parents to choose whether a child should be part of such a program or not. |
2026-04-13 08:32:00 +02:00 | konradt | No I do not | All of the above | this Government has no place in raising our children, not in forming their personal identities or ideology, this is for parents only. the only gender a child needs to be concerned about is the scientific and natural two genders male and female. any other ideology or opinion can be explored at an age that is appropriate and under parental supervision. the indoctrination of our children is unacceptable. it is an attack on our religious rights and beliefs. |
2026-04-12 08:59:06 +02:00 | Marianne | No I do not | All of the above | |
2026-04-10 22:50:37 +02:00 | Marise | No I do not | All of the above | Government does not need to preach to children to mutilate themselves. This turns schools into indoctrination camps. Focus on math and reading before trying to indoctrinate kids into ideology that opposes reality. Tax payer money shouldn't be used to teach kids anything other than maths and reading. Rather focus on phonics than u scientific ideology. |
2026-04-10 12:21:42 +02:00 | P | No I do not | All of the above | Crazy, why do you want to teach young children about any of this?! No way |

2026-03-31 12:25:12 +02:00 | Guy | No I do not | All of the above | Young children often blur the line between imagination and reality and believe in monsters, magical powers etc. or believe they are not human; this divide is better understood as they grow older and is generally becomes more reliable from the age of 7 onwards. 99,98% of births are binary and influencing young and impressionable minds otherwise is harmful to the child & immoral; children form their identity over time and do not to be indoctrinated with concepts that their minds are not mature enough to process. |
2026-03-29 21:31:22 +02:00 | Sunette | No I do not | All of the above | To whom it may concern, I do not support the ECE Toolkit. Children at preschool and primary school level are not developmentally ready to process such concepts and the result will only be to cause confusion. Where this is enforced it can in many cases cause confusion where there would not have been confusion had children not been exposed to this nonsense. The ECE Toolkit is hypocritical because it is an ideology in itself. I believe the Department of Basic Education’s priorities are misaligned. I am involved with afternoon literacy help for primary school children in township areas and the level of literacy is shocking. At a time when many learners are still struggling with basic literacy and numeracy, the focus should be on strengthening reading, writing, and foundational skills, not gender ideology indoctrination. This program does not address the most urgent needs of our children. |

2026-03-24 12:12:35 +02:00 | Nompumelelo | No I do not | Undermining of religious/spiritual values | It cannot be that what how we groom our children is overridden by the government like this. Those who want their children to be taught about all the “different” identities can do so. But the rest of us who want to teach them according to our spiritual beliefs should not be disregarded in the name of trying to normalise this thing or creating awareness. Don’t force things down our throats please!!! Focus on basic education that develops these children. What does transgender and all these things have to do with the development of a child in grade R or 2? |
2026-03-23 21:45:03 +02:00 | Lena | No I do not | All of the above | With the lowest score in maths, science and reading I should think you should concentrate in education on repairing your failures. Isn't this what teachers ought to do - repair the lack of achievment in learners? so repair the lack of your achievements in the world by scoring the lowest marks all over! But now you are just adding more to your track record of failures. What on earth are you doing? Don't call it education, it is satanic indoctrination!! God made every person what He intended that person to be and woe to any teacher or person or department or institution that goes against His clear will! He will wipe you from the face of the earth and you will go down in history in disgrace - and you will deserve every bit of it!. REPENT OF YOUR EVIL WAYS OR THE WRATH OF THE LIVING GOD WIL FALL ON YOU. Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Stop this nonsense and teach , not wreck lives! I taught and trained teachers at university - level and get to what you were called to and not what you are abused for! |

2026-03-22 18:55:34 +02:00 | Ian | No I do not | All of the above | While transgender exists, it’s not an ideology. It is a very small percentage of the population and can be taught at high school. Teach the basics of biology at primary level, as you only teach the basics of other subjects. |
2026-03-22 12:08:20 +02:00 | Rabelani | No I do not | All of the above | I do not support the introduction of the ECE Toolkit. I believe the Department of Basic Education’s priorities are currently misaligned. At a time when many learners are still struggling with basic literacy and numeracy, the focus should be on strengthening reading, writing, and foundational skills. Our education system is facing serious challenges, and resources should be directed toward improving core learning outcomes. Introducing programmes like this does not address the most urgent needs of our children. |

2026-03-21 14:09:38 +02:00 | Veon | No I do not | All of the above | I do not support the implementation of the GRP4ECE toolkit in its current format. Key Concerns • The toolkit relies heavily on teacher interpretation, creating a high risk of inconsistent delivery. • Teacher capability and bias vary significantly, increasing the risk of misapplication. • Age-appropriate boundaries are not clearly defined. • Practical classroom guardrails are insufficient. • Parent communication and alignment are limited. Core Risk The concern lies in implementation, not intent. In its current form, the toolkit is a high-variability intervention, with outcomes dependent on individual teachers. Recommendation The DBE should review and refine the toolkit to include clear boundaries, structured guidance, stronger teacher support, and improved parent communication before further rollout |
2026-03-21 12:05:45 +02:00 | Laura | No I do not | All of the above | It is a parental right to nurture and protect a child from anything the parent considers harmful, no matter what the spiritual preference of the family may be. Parents are responsible for teaching their children moral values, not the state. |

2026-03-20 10:20:57 +02:00 | Layla | No I do not | Undermining of religious/spiritual values | I will raise my kids as I see fit. My kids go to school to get an education, not to be indoctrinated. |
2026-03-20 10:06:23 +02:00 | Vanessa | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | Let's teach care, friendship, respect and not plant seeds of gender confusion in the majority of little people who have not even thought about their gender and probably never will. |
2026-03-20 09:35:40 +02:00 | Pieter | No I do not | Undermining of parental rights and family values | No. No. Value values first. |
2026-03-20 09:33:45 +02:00 | Winnie | Not fully | Other | While the objectives of promoting gender equality and addressing GBV are supported, I do not support the implementation of the GRP4ECE toolkit in its current format.
