No learner should be refused admission based solely on the language policy of a public school - Lesufi

Gauteng Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi, has urged both parents and guardians to support the new proposed national changes to admission policies for schools. The policies propose that no learner should be refused admission based solely on the language policy of a public school. The new amendments also seek to uphold the principles of no discrimination on race, gender social origin, cultural beliefs nor immigration status. The policy changes also seek to make it illegal for a learner to be suspended from classes or denied social activities solely because they cannot pay the required school fees.
