Western Cape Premier Helen Zille says the Democratic Alliance supports the proposal that sign language should become an official matric subject.
This after a learner, Kyle Springate, launched a legal bid to the Department of Education, that sign language be recognised as an examinable subject and be taught in schools.
It has been reported that in a statement, Zille said the party supports the student.
Springate has been studying sign language throughout high school, with the department’s blessing. According to Zille, it makes no sense that the department allows a pupil to study sign language, only to deny him the opportunity to be examined on a subject.
