If all sections of society work together government, communities, health
care workers, civil society, business, media and other sectors we can ensure
that all learners benefit from quality education. The achievement of quality
education for all depends on the actions of department officials, school
principals, teachers, students, parents and community members in supporting all
education initiatives.
The reality remains that education cannot only be achieved inside the
classroom, but that it begins at home and in the community. "It is important
that we all adopt a positive attitude of caring and nurturing education for our
children. We all need to say 'your child is my child and my child is your
child'. We can achieve more in improving the quality of our education and
ensuring that every child has access to education by adopting this attitude,"
said Ms Ina Cronje, MEC for Education in KwaZulu-Natal.
To drive this message and to ensure that it filters through to all members
of our community the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education is calling upon the
various stakeholders in the community to partner in this campaign. The
department will launch this campaign by urging the learners, educators,
parents, department officials and the public in committing themselves to the
code for quality education. The code for quality education describes the
respective roles, responsibilities and discipline required from all parents,
learners, educators, etc. in making quality education for all a reality.
