SACP Western Cape "Congratulates the class of 2014 and condemns DA hypocrisy"
07th January 2015
The South African Communist Party (SACP) in the Western Cape welcomes the release of the Matric results and congratulates the class of 2014.
The SACP in the Province has noted the delay in releasing Matric results by the Western Cape Department of Education. We therefore call upon the MEC of Education, Ms Debbie Schäfer and Premier Helen Zille to desist from using the release of Matric results for cheap political manoeuvring.
We have further noted the decline in the Western Cape results by 2.9%, whilst the DA government lambasts the ANC Government at every opportunity, the Western Cape Department of Education closes schools in working class communities and is openly negligent towards addressing socio-economic matters affecting learners such as gangsterism and drugs and instead focuses on the attainment of international bourgeois recognitions and acclamations.
The reactionary obsession of the DA government during the release of Matric results whilst working class learners in the province continue to run the daily gauntlet of neo-liberal policy, and the results thereof, is now a common trend that must be condemned.
