# Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube has defended her decision to suspend the new Foundation Phase National Catalogue for Grades 1-3, saying public resources must be handled responsibly. The minister suspended the catalogue due to governance and financial risks found following an independent investigation. Addressing the Cape Town Press Club yesterday, Gwarube said she is awaiting legal advice from senior counsel. She rejected the suggestion that demanding a fair process is an attack on transformation:
