The African National Congress (ANC) has outlined its key policy priorities in this 2019 election manifesto. The policy, A Skills Revolution (pages 36-40), focuses on opening up the doors of learning to all, by focusing on quality and innovation, making 2 years of early childhood development compulsory, appointing qualified teachers and developing their skills and enforcing accountability; ensuring safe and adequate school building and sanitation facilities; extending free higher education for the poor and ‘missing middle’; and implementing a mass apprenticeship programme across the economy.
