Education Department has rejected the World Economic Forum Global Information Technology report on the ranking of the quality of mathematics and science.
Out of the 148 countries that were
surveyed South Africa
The Departments Troy Martens said
the report was not factually correct and no actual tests were done to prove
this.
Martens said this report is just
based on the opinions and the views of some business people who were
interviewed, so there is nothing to be worried about.
Meanwhile the Democratic Alliance
said Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has not done enough to address
the maths, science and technology crisis.
DA MP of Basic Education Annette
Lovemore said the WEF ranking does not reflect the ability of South
Africa
Lovemore said the quality of our
education system is ranked 146 of 148 countries surveyed and this shows that
government is losing in the economy.
