Imagine this!• End of this year – identify 1000 learners in one

district, from a few schools, who failed;• Ask the court for answers from education on the

following:

1.How much teaching and learning time the learner has been given in the particular subject for the year?;

2.When was the learner identified as ‘at risk’ to fail?;

3.What was the intervention strategy to prevent him/her from failing?

4.Etc.
