Equal Education is demanding that Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga provide answers on the leaked National Education Evaluation and Development Unit.

EE has also expressed its concern that the report was not made public in 2013.

The report has found that primary schools are failing to equip learners with basic literacy and numeracy skills.

EE Deputy General Secretary Doron Isaacs said this report shows that children in primary schools and rural areas are reading at levels far behind where they supposed to and raises some of the real problems that underlie the poor reading ability in rural children.

Isaacs said it is very concerning what the report contains and equally concerning that Minister Motshekga suppressed it for so long.


“As Equal Education we want the minister to explain why she did this.” Isaac added.
