GOOD says government must prioritise education funding in budget [SOUND]

# The GOOD Party says government must prioritise education funding in the upcoming budget, and it must utilise these finances in the fight against illiteracy through a mass education campaign. South Africa’s current statistics show that 80-percent of ten-year-olds cannot read for meaning. GOOD’s national youth chairperson, Kaden Arguile, says the budget put aside to address education must be used for education, as currently, the provinces have discretion over how the allocation from the Treasury is spent.
