Hon Chairperson, I do not think it's correct to put a question where an opinion has to be expressed by a Minister who represents the interests of all nine provinces.
What I can say is that with regard to practice itself, there are some extremely good practices in the Western Cape and there are some challenges that it faces, like any other provincial department. As the national department we look at the provinces and take up and share best practices and utilise the best practices that exist amongst the provinces.
So, I certainly do not want to stand here in judgement of any of the provinces. I want to indicate, however, that as a system within the Department of Basic Education, we work very collaboratively and co- operatively with all provinces, including the Western Cape. Thank you.
