Hon Speaker, I wish to say this to the hon Deputy President. Given the crucial function and role of the recognition of prior learning, RPL, in providing redress to people who have been denied access to education, and given the fact that the Human Resource Development Council, HRDC, has committed itself to the implementation of the RPL in June 2012, as you have mentioned, we still find that after more than a decade of the implementation of the RPL it is still not functional. It is still necessary to establish a ministerial task team, whose report we still don't have. It hasn't been gazetted, months after it was apparently completed.
What assurance can the hon Deputy President, as the chairperson of the HRDC, give us that what he has announced will in fact take place? What pressure will he put on the Minister of Higher Education and Training to expedite the implementation?
