The education system is so riddled with problems and inefficiencies that we should not throw good money after bad." Yet others might say, "Governments can't manage education services. However, Madam Speaker, Vote 8 contains no funds to support provincial education systems, other than conditional grants to assist provincial education departments to carry forward innovative work in capacity building and quality improvement. There is a disjunction, often noted in this House, between the ... [highlighted result]

ASMAL: EDUCATION BUDGET VOTE 2000/2001, NCOP
I noted the disjunction between the political responsibility of the Minister of Education for the state of education throughout the country, and the fact that the Minister does not control, or even influence, provincial allocations for education. It is an indisputable consequence of our constitutional arrangements that the Minister of Education controls no provincial education budgets and disposes of no executive power with respect to provincial education. The Council is aware that teacher ... [highlighted result]

For those of you that participated in the Workshop on small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in this house last week you will know that the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is undertaking a major reorganisation.
