[lg policy] South Africa: Parents were excluded from language policy

[Harold Schiffman]

Parents were excluded from language policy

Stephen Grootes | Yesterday

The Constitutional Court has heard the parents and children at
Hoërskool Ermelo were not part of discussions around changing its
language policy. The court reserved judgment on Thursday in the
Mpumalanga Education Department’s bid to force it to change from an
Afrikaans-only policy. The court heard there were thousands of
children in the area who needed an English language education. Judge
Kate O’Regan asked the school’s advocate Wim Trengove whether the
court itself could take action to which he replied it could.
