Question NW541 to the Minister of Basic Education
18 March 2024 - NW541
Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether she intends establishing any national policy regarding almost 3 500 cases of governing bodies that are allegedly involved in theft, fraud and extortion, in cahoots with school principals; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The Department has measures in place to deal with a principal or SGB that conducts theft, fraud or extortion that are linked to a school. Should there be a school(s) that is/are alleged to have been involved in such and not dealt with, the Department requests for names of such and the related allegation(s).
