THE Department of Basic Education has reported a marked increase in the number of former Afrikaans Model C schools adopting English as a medium of instruction.

The move, aimed at accommodating a more diverse learner population across the country, was highlighted on Tuesday during a briefing to the Basic Education Portfolio Committee by Deputy Director-General Simone Geyer.

The department was briefing the committee on the implementation of the Basic Education Laws Amendment (Bela) Act's sections dealing with language, admissions, and Grade R.

Geyer said the shift aligns with a trend where Afrikaans-medium schools are beginning to embrace English.
