SAOU

Norme en Standaarde / Norms and Standards

In its role as 'Amicus Curiae' to the Constitutional Court in the Rivonia Primary School case the SAOU drew attention to the seminal importance of the establishing of proper norms and standards for education. The SAOU's submission to the court was based on international research and best practice.

The Minister for Basic Education has, in the recent past called for comment on two draft "Norms and Standards" documents. The SAOU responded to both.  The Constitutional Court's judgement in the Rivonia Primary School case makes those responses all the more relevant.

• Saou Amicus Curiae.
• SAOU response to first draft document for norms and standards.
• SAOU response to second draft document for norms and standards.
