Deputy Chairperson, we saw a lovely example of adult basic education just behind the Minister when she was still responding to the previous programme, when the hon Minister of Correctional Services was assisting the hon Minister of Human Settlements with the computer system on the desks. [Laughter.] We just want to know if there is a specific qualification necessary for this operation? [Laughter.]
On a more serious note, we accept that there is a sort of instability in this particular sector. Are we moving towards lifting the level of qualification to perhaps beyond matric? The Minister indicated that this is almost a waiting station. So, what can the department do to ease their way into becoming fully-fledged educators in the system? We understand that there is a huge challenge with literacy programmes. But what will be done to attend to the shortage of teachers in the broad system of education? Thank you. [Time expired.]
