Motsepe, Ms CCS to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What steps have been taken by her department to abolish the policy of civvies day at schools, as it forces some learners to miss school on Fridays due to not having R20 each week?
Reply:
The Department has no policy on civvies. This is an SGB driven programme to raise funds for an identified project and has never been made compulsory to learners in schools where such practice is adopted.
