The Democratic Alliance sets challenge for ANC to match their record on textbook delivery.This is after the Limpopo textbook saga.The discovery of dumped textbooks in Limpopo came as a shock to the country and has generated a bad publicity for the ANC government in the Limpopo province.A compiled report by education director Marry Metcalfe in response to the department assertion of 98% of textbooks were delivered to Limpopo learners after schools went without textbooks for seven month. It turned out that the percentage was incorrect.The ANC has acknowledged that the delivery of textbooks in Limpopo was a failure by the government, and believes that those who are found to be responsible must face the consequences of their actions including criminal charges,said the ANC secretary Gweda Mantashe in Johannesburg.He further said that "many problems at local government have to do with political tensions within the ANC and DA".Mazibuko said that the ANC should take up the DAs five point challenge to improve the quality of basic education. The challenges are:
- making sure that all students have textbooks for every core subject in their grade
- deliver textbooks before the school year starts
- eliminate corruption in the procurement of textbooks.
- the ANC needed to deliver the right textbooks for the right learners,
- and match the DAs textbook funding allocation.
" In the Western Cape, an amount of R466m has been budgeted over the next four years for the textbooks" said Mazibuko.The DA called on all ANC-governed provinces to rise to the challenge and match DAs textbook delivery records.
