The Department of Basic Education(DBE) signed a collaborative Implementation Protocol with the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) on Learner Road Safety. Included in the programme is the roll-out of the Learner Driver Development Programme. The main focus of this protocol has been on the scholar patrol programme. The Learner Driver Development Programme in which the DBE plays a supporting role has not officially started.
