Equal Education comment on Basic Laws Amendment Bill, 2009 submitted on 9 February 2010

Equal Education (EE) is a youth-led mass democratic movement of learners, post-school youth, parents, teachers and community members who use mobilisation and public action, supported by careful research, to empower young activists and ensure equality in South African education. We are a leader in youth leadership development. Our campaigns are informed by the experiences of EE members and by policy analysis. We build understanding of the education system, while drawing attention to problems faced by schools and their communities. EE offers a new way to participate in the democratic system and bring change to education and society.
