DA Reject BELA bill with full force. Basic Education Law Amendment Bill is not well received by Democratic Alliance Basic understanding of the Bill breakdown: The bill wants all South African children to have access to basic Education regardless of their background or colour of their skin Not child to be refused admissions to any school of their choice as long the school is within the perimeter of parents residential address or work address it has been calculated within 30km ratio meaning: You can enroll your child if you stay at Leondale Gardens and enroll your child to any school 30km from your place of residence or work. Inclusion of cultural, language and race in schools. Meaning schools must represent demographics of that area. Such as black white, Indians and coloured etc... So the new bill in clause 8 says your child can be rolled in Afrikaans school even though her first home language is Isizulu or Sesotho etc... You will go to jail for a minimum of 12 months if you don't send your child to school as a parent. School governing body power will go to the HOD of the department Pregnant teenagers can also attend school and be provided for special assistance. Home schooling your child will now be regulated and you can't do as you please anymore such as educators of home schooling must register with the department and use same curriculum as the department using. Random search in schools and to learners No more beating kids meaning corporal punishment is abolished under the new act. By #germistonnews
