Mnr die Adjunkvoorsitter, ek stel sonder kennisgewing voor:
Dat die Raad -
1) kennis neem dat 'n meningsopname deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Onderwysersunie benadruk dat leerders by Afrikaans-medium skole hul verdere studie-onderrig in Afrikaans sal verkies;
2) verder kennis neem dat hierdie meningspeiling gedoen is omdat dit blyk dat Stellenbosch-universiteit toenemend Afrikaans se regmatige plek onderdruk;
3) erken dat die peiling toon dat 90,4% in Gauteng, 100% in Mpumalanga, 92,7% in die Noord-Kaap, 81,7% in die Oos-Kaap, 56,6% in KwaZulu-Natal en 76,6% in die Wes-Kaap Afrikaans as onderrigtaal in verdere tersire onderrig verkies; en
4) aldus voorstel dat moedertaal-onderrig in skole en universiteite debatteer word. (Translation of Afrikaans draft resolution follows.)
[Mrs B L ABRAHAMS: Deputy Chair, I hereby move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that an opinion poll by the SA Teachers' Union has stressed that learners at Afrikaans-medium schools would prefer their tuition in further studies to take place in Afrikaans;
(2) further notes that this opinion poll was held because it would appear that Stellenbosch University is increasingly suppressing the rightful place of Afrikaans;
(3) acknowledges that the poll has shown that a percentage of these learners, 90,4% in Gauteng, 100% in Mpumalanga, 92,7% in the Northern Cape, 81,7% in the Eastern Cape, 56,6% in KwaZulu-Natal and 76,6% in the Western Cape would prefer Afrikaans to be the language of tuition in their further tertiary education; and
1) therefore proposes a debate on mother-tongue education at schools and universities.]
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
