PUBLIC schools across SA would benefit from the Supreme Court of
Appeal's (SCA's) ruling on Friday that the Mpumalanga education
department was wrong when it withdrew the power of Hoërskool Ermelo's
school governing body (SGB) to set the school's language policy,
according to the CEO of the Federation of Governing Bodies of South
African Schools, Paul Colditz. The court's ruling means the school can

children there who are now being taught in English are to remain at
the school and to be taught in English until the end of their school
days.
