General Affairs:

Livestock and Meat Control Scheme: contraventions 1188. Mr R W HARDINGHAM

asked the Minister of Agriculture:

  1. (1) Whether, with reference to paragraph (3) of his reply to Question No 1017 on 23 May 1988, any convictions have been obtained arising from contraventions of the Livestock and Meat Control Scheme relative to the marketing of imported meat; if so, how many;
  2. (2) whether he will furnish information on those convicted of such contraventions; if not, why not; if so, (a) what are their names and (b) what sentence was imposed in each case?
 The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE:
  1. (1) Yes, four;
  2. (2) no, it would serve no purpose to disclose any information on those convicted on the relevant contraventions.
 Information to principals of secondary schools: courses at technikons 1229. Mr C J DERBY-LEWIS

asked the Minister of National Education:

Whether his Department provides information to principals of secondary schools of all population groups with a view to (a) informing pupils of the courses of study available, and/or (b) encouraging them to pursue such courses, at technikons; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

 The MINISTER OF NATIONAL EDUCATION:

(a) and (b)

No. The Department of National Education is involved in the determination of general policy with respect to education and does not administer any educational institutions. The Department, therefore, does not liaise directly with the heads of secondary schools. The Departments of Education and Culture of the Own Affairs Administrations and the Department of Edeucation and Training make their own arrangements with regard to guidance for pupils in their schools. Information in connection with technikon instructional programmes is contained in general policy which the Minister of National Education determined in terms of section 2(1)(d) of the National Policy for General Education Affairs Act, 1984 (Act 76 of 1984). Particulars thereof have been made available to all Departments of State responsible for education.

    The University selected students from the non-priority list.

    B.Paed and B.Mus (Ed)

    Minimum admission requirements as per University rules.

    Academic profile — merit list with a cutoff point of 31.

    A profile of 17-18 points in the direction of study chosen, e.g. B.Paed (Science) — a total of 17-18 points for Mathematics, Biology, Physical Science.

    For certain special subjects, e.g. Art, Music, Industrial Arts — candidates were to be considered from the merit list, and below the cut-off point until a sufficient number of candidates were identified.

    Old Matriculants

    This category of students were considered as follows:

    • — Students who met the minimum admission requirements and the cut-off point were scheduled and treated in the same way as fresh matriculants; however, failing students were not considered. The Bursary Section determined the background of these students before the interviews.
