DA - PARENT OR STATE CONTROLLED EDUCATION

STATE

The DA’s Policy on Education makes no mention of parent-controlled appointment of teachers or textbooks, or the importance of religious freedom in education. (https://www.da.org.za/policy/education-policy as seen on 20/11/2018). In the DA-controlled Western Cape, the DA approved the provincial Education Amendment Bill before public hearings were held on the Bill. The Bill was then passed and parents’ submissions were ignored. The DA has also not championed the cause of home schoolers.
