Language rights in schools should be protected
The Mercury
|December 05, 2025
THE DA has always and will always defend the rights of schools to determine their own language policy as enshrined in law.
It is unfortunate that there has been a deliberate distortion in reporting that former Model C schools are being targeted by the Minister of Basic Education. This could not be further from the truth. The DA does not and will not support any government having the power to unilaterally determine school language policy.
In Parliament yesterday, the minister did not comment on former Model C schools.
