DA calls for extension for public input on proposed SGB amendments
15 January 2018
The DA calls for an extension for public input on the gazetted draft amendments to regulations relating to Governing Bodies of public schools.
The proposed amendments were gazetted on 20 December 2017 by Gauteng Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi.
Members of the public and stakeholders in the education sector may submit written comments for a period of 30 days only, however this period will soon end.
It was ill-considered of MEC Lesufi to gazette amendments to the Gauteng School Education Act and regulations relating to School Governing Bodies (SGB) during the festive season when the public would be less likely to apply their minds to these amendments.
