Minister of Basic Education set to release Ministerial Task Team Report into the introduction of History as a Compulsory Subject
The Minister of Basic Education, Mrs Angie Motshekga will on Thursday 31 May 2018 release the Ministerial Task Team Report into the possibility of introducing History as a compulsory subject in the Further Education and Training (FET) band.

The team was also responsible for the review and strengthening of the content of History in the FET and the General Education and Training (GET) bands.
