The Western Cape Department of Education says, for some time it has been concerned about the impact of the National Progression Policy on education.

WCED spokesperson Jessica Shelver says, through speaking to teachers and principals it has become apparent that this policy has a number of unintended consequence for learners and teachers which are bad for education.

Shelver says MEC Debbie Schafer urges Minister Motshekga to scrap the regulation.

She says, to save money towards getting more assistance for learners especially in foundation phase, we also propose that we stick to doing the ANA from next year to grade 3,6 and 9 and not every year from grade 1 to 9.
