Sanet Steenkamp, Executive Director of the Ministry of Education, stated that this also includes learners being addressed on political matters on school grounds.
\n\u201cThe Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture have observed with serious concern the trends of uncoordinated access of groups, and in particular political parties on school premises under the pre-text of motivational talks to learners and teachers. Though we uphold that education is a collective responsibility and nurturing can take many forms, the ministry\u2019s regulations and stance in this respect are very clear,\u201c Steenkamp stated.
\nShe added that while the education ministry recognises the constitutional human rights of freedom of association, its mandate is to ensure a secure school environment for all.
\n\u201cSchools are sensitive and secure areas with the ministry having to fulfil a critical role of responsibility for all learners. Leadership and management at regional and school level are hereby urged to safeguard against political activities on school premises,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
