UNgqongqoshe wezeMfundo eyisiSekelo, uSiviwe Gwarube, usememezele izinhlelo zokubuyekeza amamaki okuphasa kwaGrade 12. Imaki okwamanje limi ku-30%.
Ephendula ekugxekweni kwezinga lokuphasa elikhona njengamanje, uGwarube umemezele izinhlelo zakhe zokusungula ibhodi labaluleki elakhiwe abathintekayo nochwepheshe abafanelekile.
Uthe umkhandlu uhlose ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imizamo yokuqinisa imfundo ihlosiwe, isekelwe ebufakazini, futhi yaziswa ngezinqubo ezingcono kakhulu.
Ungqongqoshe uthe kugxilwe kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni ukufunda nokubhala nokubala.
“Kubalulekile ukuthi kubhekwe uhlelo lulonke, abafundi basezingeni okumele bakwenze ngawo wonke amazinga. Esingakufuni wukuthi abantu bashiye u-matric futhi lokho kube yigugu. Akufanele nje sibheke amamaki okuphasa kuze kube sekugcineni, kumele sibheke amarekhodi ajwayelekile nokuthi kumele silithuthukise kanjani lelo mamaki lokuphasa.”
Khonamanjalo, uGwarube uthe uMnyango wakhe uzofaka isicelo kuMengameli Cyril Ramaphosa ukuthi abuyisele uMthethosivivinywa we-BELA ePhalamende ukuze ubuyekezwe.
Lokhu kuvele ngesikhathi amaqembu ehlukene ezepolitiki okubalwa ne-DA ewuchithile lo mthethosivivinywa.
UGwarube utshele i-SABC ukuthi lo mthethosivivinywa kumele ubuyekezwe ukuze kugwenywe ukuphazamisa ikusasa labafundi ngemithetho ephelelwe yisikhathi.
Uthe ziyadingeka izinkulumo-mpikiswano ngalezi zinguquko.
“Asifuni ukuwukhipha wonke umthethosivivinywa kodwa kunezigaba zomthethosivivinywa esiziphikisa kakhulu. Lungisa izindawo eziyinkinga ezikhuluma namandla eSGB, kodwa futhi kufanele sigcine izinto ezithile. ezikhuluma ngokungenisa ama-ECD ngokusemthethweni ohlelweni.”
