Speaker, a draft integrated sports plan has been developed collaboratively with Sports and Recreation South Africa, clarifying the roles and functions of each department. We even held a final meeting this morning which also spelled out the process that both departments are going to follow.
Within the Department of Basic Education, the draft has been approved by the Council on Education in Management, CEM. It is due to be finalised by agreement between the two of us. As I have said, this morning we had a meeting with the Minister and we have agreed on the way forward. Currently, school sports leagues have commenced at district level with four identified priority sporting codes, namely, football, rugby, netball and cricket. Schools are participating in leagues, based on a guideline document that was developed and distributed to all provinces.
In addition, the training of educators as part of the Curriculum Assessment and Policy Statement, Caps, is planned. Currently, subject advisors have also been trained on Caps, which will include training around sports- related matters. According to Caps, two hours per week in the school timetable have been allocated to physical education.
