Chairperson, I hereby give notice on behalf of Cope that on the next sitting day of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes the continued failure of the Department of Education to give the children of our country the quality of education that would improve their future as well as that of the nation;
2) further notes the inability of the government to address minimum infrastructure needs seeing that the recently published school infrastructure report found 3 500 public schools in the country to be without electricity and 2 402 without a regular water supply;
3) debates the reasons for KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and the Free State continuing to be the worst affected areas in the above regard; and
4) debates the extent to which infrastructure limitations affected school attendance and the very operation of the school.
