Speaker, I just wanted to thank and compliment the hon member from the ANC for her reference to the distribution of science test kits in Limpopo. Indeed, the Deputy Minister of Education would agree with me that there has been a significant improvement in terms of performance at schools in maths and science.
Part of the reason for this improvement is the interventions involving partnerships with the private sector, as well as various government departments giving their support. At the Department of Science and Technology, for example through our science centres, we have, over and above our other inputs, provided additional support to teachers to improve the teaching of maths and science.
We have also been providing science centres, and mobile science laboratories which have been used from school to school to assist learners to be able to do science experiments in order to enhance their performance in matric science. I think that is shown by the results that are coming through, as they are steadily improving. Thank you.
