The Democratic Alliance calls upon the Minister of Basic Education to come before the Portfolio Committee to account for the lack of support given to learners with special needs.

The DA believes learners with special needs are being denied their right to a good education.

DA Member on Basic Education Portfolio Committee Sonja Boshoff said, the DA is calling on the Minister of Basic Education, Minister Angie Motshekga, to intervene as a matter of urgency to ensure that these learners are given their rightful education that they deserve.

Boshoff said that “we should be actually looking after our learners whether they have any impairment or whether they are learners that can go to normal school.”


We cannot take their dignity away from them by not providing formal education, Boshoff added.
