And guess what come January 2013 the results will show that the pass rate in this province has gone up. Spot on Sinudeity! Phela its mid year now, they must just sue the state for failing to provide basic education which is their constitutional right.

vote ANC and never get a decent education!!!! rather spend your energies criticizing Helen Zille for calling the children trying to get away from the failed province of EC, "edu refugees" than actually using same energies getting the schooling system fixed.

makes sense doesn't it????

A person who lives in the EC and still votes ANC should hang their heads in shame because they, the voters themselves, are destroying that lovely province, and the futures of their own children, by voting for the ANC in that province. You get the government you deserve remember. If you vote ANC you should not blame their incompetence, and remember to tell your uneducated children that you are to blame.
