die wysigingswetsontwerp op basiese onderwys wat tans voor die parlement dien, stel voor dat dit verpligtend moet wees dat alle kinders twee jaar vko moet ontvang voordat hulle graad 1 toe gaan omdat dié grondslagleer noodsaaklik vir n kind se sukses in latere jare is.

because this foundational learning is key to a child’s success in later years, the basic education laws amendment bill that is currently before parliament proposes that it be compulsory for all children to receive two years of ecd before they enter grade 1. it is at this stage that children should be taught, learn through play and receive at least one meal a day.
