Communications ====================================================== 20 June 2012 Press statement for immediate release Delay on the delivery of textbooks in Limpopo schools. Transversely in the Limpopo Public Schools there is generally lack of learner support material toward this end, as a result we grasp no faith that our learners will make it towards the third term with successes. The lack of learner support materials particularly textbooks comes with a lot of misfortunes to learners in grade 11 and 12, for the reason that entry to the institutions of higher learning is determined by the learner performance on this term in school calendar. The ANCYL Limpopo is convinced that the clause within the Freedom Charter, that “THE DOORS OF LEARNING AND OF CULTURE SHALL BE OPENED” is not finding the middle ground, and our view on the matter is that if these tendencies continues to occur, we must admit defeat on having a South Africa that’s illiterate free, with slightest majority of citizens having employment and shelter as envisioned within the Vision 2030 plan. Such a society cannot be advanced through these failures to provide adequate education materials and developing the education system, in view of the fact that education is in the heart in the creation of any better livelihood. Unfailing to the above observations, we demand that all learners be given the obligatory pass as the situation is stimulated by the government itself and this cannot be left to be unclothed to learners, and that recovery plans during the remaining school holidays of this year be developed. We further urge the National Government to repeal the imposition of Section 100(b) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, because the intervention has brought nothing but shame and derision to the people of Limpopo, as service delivery and pass rates will severely drop this year. In an event of developing the recovery plan, we are supporting the call by the South African Democratic Teachers Union in Limpopo and other affected unions on their demand for remuneration as concocting the recovery plan will mean that there will not be resting on the part of teachers this year. Awakened by these frustrations, we urge the Department of Education to learn from this year‘s encounters and ensure that stationery for next year are delivered before the end of November, such that in the opening of schools next year, both parents, teachers and learners do not find themselves frustrated.
