Thank you very much. I think Mr Nzimande is representing Dr Nzimande very well!

Let me give you the assurance that all schools and all colleges will pay particular attention to the architectural design with regard to access for persons with disabilities. That is the norm and standard that would apply. That assurance I can convey to you, even though I am not from the Department of Higher Education and Training. So, hon member, you can rest assured that this is something we will pay particular attention to, especially with regard to new developments and infrastructure. Thank you.
