Asilweni Bo Mama’s Stop the Early Admission of 3–4 Year Olds into Grade R: Protect the ECD Phase

Children must go to grade R when they have reached age 4 or 5 not when they are 3 years old

This Bela bill is not okay at all it must come to an end

Kids between 3 to 4 years are not yet psychologically developed for school learning and being responsible on their own.

Department of education please keep the four years old children in Early childhood centers, they are not ready for schools.

With the high rate of bullying ,drugs and the overcrowding in government schools,the little ones are too young for this environment. Keep them with their ECD teachers, they're 100% safe and well taken care of .

3 and 4 are too young to go to Primary School

We love and care for our children no child of mine will go to school at the age of 3 or 4 ECD is the way.

I am against it for children to go to school at 3 to 4 years of age not accepted

Every child deserve a home care at this age. I disagree for kids to go to school at this stage.

Forward we go backward never

It is a reality that Department does not think about us or see us as people who want to grow South Africa to a better future for children. ECD we struggle to settle down as centres who are recognized and on the other side Parents does not want to give us children.We have been in this scenario for decades now they want 3-4 at school. It seems South Africa should be a worst country when coming to jobs bcs we are trying to create jobs with our creches and 3/4 years are our target group of children especially us who live in rural ;no parent can give u a 6 months child to take care of bcs her mother does not work .Department need to close creches bcs if you think straight teachers at schools can not afford to take care of our 6 years children even when your child vomit they cannot assist he or she must do it on him or herself now it's going to be child abuse at school .Physical and emotional because they will be suppose to change nappies and so on .And 3 years child is not ready to learn even some don't know how to talk properly . No 3/4years must go to school.Leave children alone .we are here to develop children and we will not let this happen .

Four-and three year old children are still very young and need constant care to interact with older children

Not yet ready for reception

That's awesome

3 to 4years they are still young for being at school they must stay at centers please let them stay at centers

Keep small children in the ECD center 0 to 5

I am not happy because the department they don't care about me ,they oppress our rules

I disagree with this thing of taking 3year old to school.

No against the BELA bill

Children must staying at creche until 5 years because creche is training the child .
