South Africa: Gauteng Proposes Amendments to Current Provincial Education Laws

press release

In 1995 Gauteng was the first province to pass post-apartheid legislation in education. In 1996 national legislation in the form of the South African Schools Act (SASA) was passed. Changes in education policy over the last 17 years resulting in amendments to SASA, and the Further Education and Training (FET) Act have resulted in aspects of Gauteng's educations laws being out of step with national policy and legislation.

For this reason the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) has published amendments to Gauteng's laws, which will be tabled in the provincial legislature later this year. The amendments repeal in totality the Gauteng College Education and Training Act, 1998 (Act No. 13 of 1998) and the Examination and Assessment Act, 1997 (Act No. 7 of 1997).
