"The Committee welcomes the fact that Minister has agreed that once the report was released to the public, the Committee would get a detailed briefing and could then discuss the report at a meeting.”"

"Regarding the licensing of educators, the Committee heard that the department was working with the South African Council for Educators (SACE) to professionalise teaching through standard setting and the strengthening of the induction of new teachers."

"The proposal is to provide newly qualified teachers with provisional registration. In conjunction with the department, SACE is working on introducing a policy on professional standards."

"The Committee looks forward to the release of the final report on the “Jobs for Cash” so it can interrogate the issue and put the matter to bed that has been the thorn in the flesh of the education sector as a whole. The Committee will continue to keep an eye all issues discussed to monitor the progress,"
