, QUESTION 1 [10 marks]
Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. If a statement is
false, provide a reason why this is the case.
1.1A public school may administer an admission test to a learner before the
learner is offered a place at the school. (2)
1.2 1.2 If a learner is older than 14 years, he or she does not have to be
accompanied by a suitable adult when he or she attends a school disciplinary
hearing. (2)
1.3 Learners are legally obligated to attend school from the age of five until
they finish their Grade 9 final examinations. (2)
1.4 If a learner commits a serious offence, the principal may suspend him or
her until such time as a hearing can be held to decide what needs to be done.
(2)
1.5 If a learner from a Muslim background attends a public school where the
school governing body has selected the Christian faith for school prayer
purposes, the learner must practise the dominant faith of the school. (2)
1.1 False. A public school may not administer an admission test to a learner
before offering them a place at the school. In South Africa, public schools are
required to admit learners based on the first-come-first-served principle, except
in cases where a school has specific admission criteria that have been approved
by the Department of Education.
1.2 True. If a learner is older than 14 years, they do not have to be accompanied
by a suitable adult when attending a school disciplinary hearing. The presence of
a suitable adult is generally required for learners under the age of 14 to ensure
their rights and interests are protected during the disciplinary process.
