He kinda did, there are teachers there atleast I believe in most of the positions who are not on full-time employement, like part time teachers.

[@bevturner2258]

It would seem that the 31,000 vacant posts are currently filled by contract teachers. There is no security for these teachers as they can be let go at the end of their contract. I don’t believe a qualified teacher should be offered a contract post. If they can afford to pay them, then they can make the post permanent. I don’t think he wanted to admit on TV how many actual vacant posts exist. They hide the number by increasing the size of classes.

Im not sure what the big deal is about this Afrikaans thing. I went to a school where you could learn everything either in Afrikaans or English. The question is why must Afrikaans have this special treatment. Im Zulu and would have loved to learn everything in my mother tongue and im sure this is true of others with their mother togues. Afrikaaners need to accept that they are not more special than the other SA languages. Just pick Afrikaans as a 1st or 2nd additional like the rest of us do with our mother tongues. English is most common language for us all and one that wouldn't start a civil war if we had to choose a single language. Get over it.

[@nontuthukon1322]

@@okuhtttf Stop please stop with the selective outrage. If a school is private it's private by choice. Why start a private school and expect the government to fund it as they do with public schools. In the public schools in I know of including the ones I have attended we had a A class (Afrikaans only) and E ( English only) classes. That is unfair for Afrikaans to receive that special treatment and if it continues it will lead to having Z classes for Zulu and X classes for Xhosa. And let's be honest that that would be disastrous. So we must all learn in English as a home language only because it's a global language of communication then the other languages can be taken as 1st, 2nd or 3rd additional language. Afrikaners love to separate themselves from the rest of the country and then cry victimhood if things don't go your way.

If they choose to hold the status of private school then that is their democratic right but everything has consequences and here it's that you cannot enjoy the same privileges as the public schools. The Zulu and Xhosa and other languages could have their own schools, yes. But we all seem to understand that SA needs to function as a unit whereas Afrikaners want to be special and act like victims. We learn in school in English but have managed to preserve our cultures and languages. Why can't you do the same?. I'll tell you why it's because Afrikaners just hate to function in a society with people who are not their own. They want to isolate themselves instead of embracing the new status quo and reality of the country they live in.

@@bafanamahlatse1923 Article 29 of South Africa’s constitution states that: Everyone has the right to receive education in the official language or languages of their choice in public educational institutions where that education is reasonably practicable. The question is, who decides what is reasonably practicable. Ideally, children should be taught in their mother tongue, at least for the first few years. After that, many children actually choose English, possibly because of American influence, I don’t know. As you say, children should be able to study any of the official languages. The problem though, is that we don’t have enough qualified teachers for that. Perhaps online teaching in the classroom could solve that problem for older students. I get back to, we have too many official languages in SA. There is no easy answer because we’re facing education funding cuts. The WC is eliminating 2,400 contract teacher posts in 2025.

R16 billion to implement the bill, bit the department has no monies....what!? And is at a backfall of about 30 000 teacher positions that needs to be filled?! Has logics left the room?

[@seggienaicker9302]

Whats the bet that the government and Lesufi in particular will do nothing about parents who dont send their children to school. Lets see how Lesufi handles this and more especially the HOD''s and Ramaphosa the man who has lost his way in the latter part of his presidency with many many issues

Why there is shortage of money? If so, why did the previous government proceeded encouraging/allowing learners to persuit the faculty of education, where is logic there?

[@francoisvanstaden9653]

Children not in school equal to jail time - does that count for sick and injured children unable to go to school , when roads are blocked in rural communities and your kid is unable to go to school are you going to go to jail, if you live far from town and your vehicle breaks on the way to school will you be criminally charged 🤔

[@rosinaramahlo5539]

The Bela Bill will only be possible if in those Grades Free Education is implemented. Because if Free Education is not implemented while the penalties will be imposed to them, how are the parents going to afford the school fees, the uniforms, etc, while some parents are struggling right now with absolutely everything, because it is difficult for them to get the right jobs? Only Free Education will make sure that the parents, their children are at school every BLOODY day. Without doing that just forget about the penalties you are talking about.

[@rosinaramahlo5539]

Let the government make FREE EDUCATION in all Public schools, and the parents who are taking their children to Private schools, should pay for all the needs in those schools, because they can afford them. Moreover, it was their choice, no one forced them to do that. Let not the poor family lose their rights because of the families who think they need different education for their children. Any of their complaints, those families, should not even be solved by the government, but by the private sectors authorities of those private schools.

[@bevturner2258]

Parents of children in private schools already pay for everything, by paying personal income tax. The government cannot afford free education for all. There aren’t enough tax payers to fund the children whose parents don’t earn enough to pay tax. The tax payers are also supporting the 26 million people on social grants.

[@susanstander7315]

The majority of public Afrikaans schools are funded by the parents, NOT the government.

[@bevturner2258]

@@susanstander7315 That’s interesting. I was under the impression that most received some funding, as quintile 4 or 5 schools. If most Afrikaans schools are entirely funded by the parents, then what is all the fuss about? Do you have figures to support your view?

[@bevturner2258]

@@susanstander7315 The BELA Bill clearly states it refers to public, government schools. It does not refer to private schools. If, as you say, most Afrikaans schools are private schools, then you have nothing to worry about.

[@bevturner2258]

@@susanstander7315 Okay, just done a quick online check and it seems you’re wrong about this. Of a total of 23,719 public (government run, state schools) 2,484 use Afrikaans as their sole or second language of instruction. So clearly there are a substantial number of Afrikaans schools that are partly funded by taxpayers. To retain autonomy, these schools would have to be entirely funded by the parents. I assume they would also need to buy the government owned school buildings and grounds, or lease them from the government. It seems clear to me that the government wants the superior former model C schools, established during the apartheid era, to be available to all school children. These are the schools targeted by the government in the BELA Bill.

One foreign langue is more than enough. Afrikaans is a waste of state resources.

[@beckylieb2637]

Afrikaans is an indigenous language in South Africa.

[@beckylieb2637]

Ironically, the State doesn't support Afrikaans. The ANC has spent more resources in fighting this than educating the poor and disadvantaged

[@FutBrix1096]

Every South African has a right to utilise their language everywhere they see Fit.. The Afrikaans speaking community is doing No Crime.. If you dont want to utilise it in your life.. Dont stop others from using it.. If it means they can have their schools strictly Afrikaans.. That hurts no one.. Your free to go to the English medium schools or your own language school.. We couldnt gaf🤞🤞🤞

Is on they website. I attended this BELLA BILL meeting in the community. The booklets they gave the community and they presentation were not the same as the booklet. They left a lot of information out of the booklet, and people were not happy. They are so scared of parents that they made it during the week, and the announcement was made a few hours before they came to the community. These government officials they always have police around when they have to come and propose things to the communities😂😂😂
