The Inquiry endeavoured to ascertain if indeed, there was an excessive regulation of school uniforms and learner appearances and whether such regulation unjustifiably infringed upon the learners' fundamental human rights to education, equality, freedom of expression and dignity as enshrined in the Constitution.
It is against this background that the Commission will release its report by conducting a launch of the report, its outcomes and recommendations thereof. The media will be afforded an opportunity to ask questions and enquiries. In addition, the ECPO will conduct a legal clinic on the day and communities in the Makhanda area will be afforded with an opportunity to bring their complaints to the attention of the Commission.
The launch is scheduled to take place as follows:
Date: 19 October 2023
