Speaker, we welcome the process that started in December 2012 to remedy the situation so that learners receive the quality education they deserve. We also note the delivery of more than 1,2 million textbooks that have already been done to remedy the situation. We call upon all stakeholders to support the task teams in their work.
We thank teachers who have worked tirelessly to make sure that teaching and learning take place against all odds. We further request that all affected stakeholders should support the catch-up programmes that have been planned by the department to further consolidate the teaching. The ANC supports any initiative for and assistance to the province. Thank you. [Time expired.] [Applause.]
