The Minister for Basic Education Angie Motshekga has reminded parents that they have a vital role to play in school governing bodies.

As said at a news conference in Pretoria, Motshekga mentioned that schools with good governing bodies have better success compared to those where parents and the community are not involved.

She also said that this year’s school governing body elections would take place throughout the month of March.

The Minister urged parents to stand for election and to participate in  voting procedures.
