Article: Passing learners without merit a concern: Afriforum

The lobby group, AfriForum, has expressed concern about reports of a new "passing rule" in South African schools.

I can write a thesis about what is wrong with our schooling system.

But I can write a dissertation ... and even a series of books about what is wrong with our society ... to explain the OP issue.

But you already know what the problem is, so I'll save myself the writing time and yourself the reading time.
 
WTF!!! Is this real?!?

Please tell me this isn't real.

I am dealing with a situation at work now, where a basic level employee cannot be used for stock taking or stock packing because she cannot use a ruler to measure the product and cannot read the description of the roll.

Are these the kind of employees that this Government wants to turn out?
