The Education Ministry in South Africa wants to remove the need to pass maths exams in Grades 7-9 at school. This proposed measure is targeting school children ending their primary education and those who've just reached secondary level. They say that, at the moment, if some children don't pass maths they cannot choose certain subjects at school, so this reduces their options and leads many to drop out. Teachers said they would not support what they see as a move that essentially "lowered standards" for pupils. Elijah Mhlanga, spokesperson from the Department of Basic Education in South Africa gave us his reaction.
