South Africa: School language issue goes to top court

[Harold Schiffman]

School language issue goes to top court
The Mpumalanga Education Department and the provincial Education
Minister have applied for leave to appeal to the Constitutional Court
against the Hoërskool Ermelo judgment. According to a Beeld report,
the SCA ruled that the governing body of the school had the exclusive
right to determine the language policy at the school.
