Deputy Chairperson, I rise to give notice on behalf of Cope that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council debates -
1) the crisis in our education system following the release of the Annual National Assessment's dismal results for Grades 3 and 6 learners;
2) the need to examine the results of the data analysed by the University of Stellenbosch in order to pave a way forward;
3) the important role of teachers and quality of teaching in our schools in addressing the challenges that face the South African education system; and
4) the important role that government has to play to provide leadership as well as to ensure and monitor that educators have the correct qualifications to provide quality education.
