Hon Deputy Speaker, I hereby give notice, on behalf of the ANC, that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move:
That the House -
1) notes with appreciation the sense of urgency and the importance which the ANC's Polokwane conference attached to identifying and positioning education as one of the priorities for the next five years;
2) acknowledges the many challenges and weaknesses in our system of education;
3) believes that such issues need to be tabled before this House for debate; 4) recognises that this radical renewal of our schooling and education system is in line with the overarching vision that informs the ANC's education policy of people's education for people's power;
5) further recognises that this radical renewal is aimed at heeding the call made in the Freedom Charter where it says that education shall be free, compulsory, universal and equal for all children; and
6) debates the issue of realising quality education for all in South Africa and the current challenges encountered in this vital area of our transformation programme.
