Introduction      SARS 2012 provides a broad Marxist‐Leninist framework for the revolutionary work  of the SACP over the next five years. It serves as an ideological weapon and political  education resource for SACP structures and for our broader alliance.

Transforming the Educational System      Education is a major terrain for the battle of ideas. It can be used to empower the  working class and popular strata, but it can and typically is used to perpetuate the  ideologies of oppressive ruling classes.    In the contemporary conjuncture, education has been a major purveyor of neo‐ liberal ideology, of a dog eats dog mentality, of the survival of the fittest, and of  rank individualism. The SACP must wage a struggle for curriculum transformation  aimed at empowering the working class and the majority of our people to play a  meaningful role in the transformation of society.    In addressing skills development an opportunity also needs to be created for  empowering our people beyond just the much needed technical and vocational  skills. In waging the struggle for access to education it is important that that  struggle is coupled with the struggle for the teaching of progressive ideas  throughout our education system.

Institutionalising Political Education and the  theoretical development of our cadres      The SACP must institutionalise political education and the theoretical development  of our cadres. Whilst cadre development is more than just political education and  theoretical work, this task in itself is very important.    At least once every year, the Central Committee and provincial Executive  Committees must hold or meet as a political school. Our district executive  committees must meet as a political school twice a year, once in each half of the  year. Our BECs must meet as such at least four times a year.    In addition to the above, once every year the Central Committee must convene one  national political school targetted at the provincial leaderships of the SACP.  Similarly each province and district must hold one provincial and district council per  year as a dedicated political school targetted respectively at provincial, district and  branch leadership.    Each district must ensure that each branch of the SACP must hold at least 4 political  schools targetted at all Party members in a branch.    A dedicated commissariat drawn from leaders of the Party at all levels must be  developed to ensure that the running of such political and theoretical education  programmes of our Party. This must be one of the principal tasks of the national  secretariat of the SACP.

SACP Media Release, 5 February 2013        [‘Drop the Concept “Essential Service”’]          Extract:      The SACP however agrees that no one can differ with the need to make education a  single and foremost important service in society so that in the manner in which  resources are provided we make sure that our children are supported to receive the  best form of education.     The SACP is further of the view that we should not just provide an education that  produces readily made goods for absorption by the labour market but that our  education, an education that must be essential, must be underpinned by the vision  of People’s Education for People’s Power!     This vision requires that our schooling and post schooling education systems do not  just produce skilled individuals but individuals who are able to interpret and make  sense of their political, ideological and socio‐economic conditions and thus be  actors to radically alter those conditions.     The kind of education we must make essential must be a liberating one. This debate  is a completely different debate from declaring teaching as an essential service and  the two must be kept distinct.              Course: Education
