Again, in terms of the process that we followed when we were doing the curriculum and assessment policy process, we followed the necessary steps in terms of public participation and engaging with the public - just the legal part thereof. I received, for instance, the last report from the curriculum statement in June and, before we even gazette it, I have a series of appointments with different key stakeholders to make sure that we take them through the documents.
What we have done was really a technical exercise in terms of what the law prescribes to us and in terms of public comment and consultation with key stakeholders. I would not have had the specific task to focus on either this kind of parent or that kind of learner. We are continuing to talk to different groups of people who have an interest in making sure that we are indeed on par and that we have a common understanding. If there are problems that are brought forward to us, we are able to address them.
