The Department had no problem in terminating the services of any official in the system for non-performance. The Department had a detailed QLTC renewal strategy and was looking forward to better successes in 2013. There was a concerted effort from the Department to consult extensively with communities and relevant stakeholders in respect of the possible closure of identified schools - implementation would be a joint venture with all role-players. The Department further indicated that they were not satisfied with the quality of the Shuttleworth textbooks and workbooks and had appointed three independent evaluators to assess the situation. The Department was engaging the Department of Transport in respect of the increased number of learners requiring transport and currently not being accommodated.
