Youth Marches for Norms & Standards

On 9 May the Minister wrote to EE asking for an extension on publishing Minimum Norms and Standards for School Infrastructure! Even though the Minister has delayed countless times over the past four years, EE granted a one month extension. The Minister replied and said that she wants another six months to publish the regulations. She wants to delay the process forever.

We can’t wait any longer. We need to fix our schools now!
