Deputy Chair, can the Minister please tell us the following. We all agree that unions play a very important role in our education system. They can also play a more important role in the future of education, particularly if they can agree to the implementation of performance assessment. That is essentially what this question is about: How will the Minister manage to convince the unions, the alliance partners of the ruling party? She must bear in mind that she can no longer present any further excuses to the parents of this country and to the learners in our education system if schooling hours are disrupted by union industrial action.
