The FFC recommended that national norms and standards for the provision of learners transport should be established. It added that this will be possible once the location of this function has been clearly demarcated between the national departments of Education and Transport. The FFC advised that this responsibility be clarified as a matter of urgency. In the interim, all provinces were to implement statutory provisions that ensured that learners were afforded equal access to education, irrespective of their province of residence and irrespective of whether they resided in rural or urban areas.
