Chairperson, with your permission and just to assist the hon member, I don't think it is a question of which provinces are leading. If you look at the geography of the Western Cape and Gauteng, it differs significantly from that of the Northern Cape, Limpopo or the Eastern Cape, where they are principally rural with large distances that learners have to travel. In Gauteng, for example, you can move from one part of the province to the other within two to three hours, but you cannot say the same about the Eastern Cape or the Northern Cape. So, each province has its own, new answers.
Therefore, in developing a policy, one has to pay particular attention to the context of the different provinces. Therefore, there wouldn't be a leading line. One could certainly say that as a result of urbanisation and disproportionate development of provinces attributable to apartheid policies of the past, some provinces are better favoured and better positioned to provide access to learners as compared to other provinces.
Our task, then, is to correct these deficiencies in order to ensure that we provide easy access for all our learners, irrespective of where they reside in whichever province. Thank you very much, Chairperson.
