We sent questions to the ANC, DA, EFF, IFP, FF Plus, ActionSA, PA, MK Party and RISE Mzansi
We asked the ANC, DA, EFF, IFP, FF Plus, ActionSA, PA, MK Party, and RISE Mzansi on 13 March and sent follow-up queries to those who did not respond. Some have still not responded.What steps would your party take to ensure that a greater percentage of South Africa n children can read, write and do arithmetic at an age-appropriate standard?Devoting the first two hours of each school day in the Foundation Phase to developing reading and writing skills.
ActionSA will introduce training to improve the ability of existing Foundation Phase teachers to teach numeracy at age-appropriate levels, and we will implement evidence-based teaching methods for numerical skills development.Subjecting teachers to competency tests would be a very good start. We also believe that a school depends heavily on the leadership of its principal. School heads should be hired independently of the unions and held to the highest standards.
The implementation of the norms and standards policy for school infrastructure - including the provision of toilets, libraries and proper classrooms - is many years delayed. How would you speed up implementation?The DA will speed up the realisation of the norms and standards policy for school infrastructure by:
Enhancing the protection of existing school infrastructure. In line with the Human Rights Commission Report, the DA will establish a National School Protection Response Team. This response team would include relevant departments such as SAPS, DBE, and other relevant stakeholders. This task team will be replicated at provincial and local levels.Increasing the supply of teachers.

Here's how we plan to accelerate this process:We will prioritise urgent needs like toilets, libraries, and proper classrooms.
