Presenting the department's budget for 2025/26 in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on Tuesday, Gwarube said her department has supported the education sector to implement the Bela Act, which came into effect on December 24. She said there has also been development of interim guidelines and draft regulations for further support and implementation.

“The first two regulations, which focused on admissions and capacity, will be published in the coming weeks for public comment. Further regulations will follow,’ she said.

"These efforts signal a broader shift to a more responsible, accountable leadership and a system that is grounded in purpose and growth.”

The minister presented the budget after she and the provincial departments briefed the Basic Education Portfolio on the Bela Act regulations and implementation as they related to Grade R admissions.
