Western Cape MEC of Education
Debbie Schafer said she is opposed to the current proposal of a single subject
textbook.
This as the Department of
Basic Education has proposed that there be a single textbook per subject per
learner which is intended to bring down the cost of textbooks.
MEC Schafer said the proposal
is filled with difficulties.
Ministerial Spokesperson
Jessica Shelver said it is my view that having a choice of excellent textbooks,
with excellent teachers, is the best way to address inequalities.
“In any state monopoly on the
dissemination of information is inherently undesirable. The DBE controls the
curriculum they should not also control exactly how it is taught,” Shelver
added.
