The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande, will host a media briefing in Cape Town to discuss the draft policy framework for social inclusion in the post-school education and training system. The intention of this policy framework is to ensure that educational institutions recognise and promote integration, a culture of human rights, unity in diversity as well as human dignity and thus eradicate all forms of discrimination in the system.
The call for public comments will be published in the Government Gazette on Friday, 22 August. However, copies of the draft policy will be made available at the media briefing.
Details of the briefing are as follows:
Date: 21August 2014
Venue: GCIS Imbizo Media Centre, 120 Plein Street, Cape Town
Time: 13h00 to 14h00
There will be a live video-link to the GCIS Media Centre in Pretoria – Tshedimosetso House, Hatfield, Pretoria
