Some of the proposed changes in the Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill have raised eyebrows among Koffiefontein parents in the Free State.

The selling of alcohol on school premises and allowing teenagers to have an abortion without their parents’ knowledge received the most flak.

The Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill also proposes a standard home-schooling curriculum. Other parts of the Bill that have raised eyebrows include giving government department heads power over language policies and the curriculum a school must adopt. The Bill also proposes criminalising parents who do not ensure their children are in school, with fines or jail time of up to 12 months.

“Representing the home community, we do not support the BELA bill as its currently being proposed by the Department of Basic Education. The reason for this specifically is clause 37 under this clause it says that all learners should follow the CAPS curriculum,” another parent said. “We support the bill, especially the amendment of section 5 it is going to assist our people a lot. We had a lot of challenges especially in the urban areas in Gauteng. We think by amending this section will give everybody a chance to study where the parents take their learners, where they want to,” says Peter Aphane of the Congress of South African School Governing.
