The National Assembly has adopted the controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill – and opponents are ready to head to court once it is enacted.
The National Assembly has approved two bills – the controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment Bill and the Upstream Petroleum Development Bill.
The language policy must also take into consideration the language needs of the broader community. The bill further provides that the South African Sign Language has the status of an official language for purposes of learning at a public school. Opponents have also argued that the government has ignored thousands of comments that have spoken against provisions in the new laws.
