28 September 2017 - NW2252
Robinson, Ms D to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What measures have been taken in each province to ensure that deaf learners who are provided with government transport are (a) collected and dropped off at safe points and (b) handed over to a registered person to accompany them to their home?
Reply:
(a) and (b)
In case of deaf learners arrangement is done with the teacher responsible at the school, parents and the driver of transport. The parents or the appointed guardians take the learners to the pick-up points and hand-over to the driver who will hand-over to the teacher responsible at a school. After school, the parents or the guardians will collect the learner at the drop off point and accompany them home.
