2. Specific Provisions :

** In terms of Section 6(2) of SASA, the SGB of a public school may determine the language policy of that school.

In reaching a decision on this figure the SGB has taken into account all relevant factors including, but not limited to:
** The number of educators available;
** Educators’ space requirements including areas for their administration to be carried out;
** The number of designated, suitably sized classrooms;
** The need for sports, remedial and cultural programmes and activities to take place;
