Cape Town \u2014 A portion of the National Lottery money could be geared to fund critically needed sporting activities in schools, Parliament has heard.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of Basic Education, sport was now going to be an integral part of the school curriculum.<\/p>\n

The department, along with Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA), made a joint presentation on bettering sports in poorly resourced schools.<\/p>\n

The departments made their presentations before a joint sitting of the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education and its Sport and Recreation counterpart earlier on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

While the house agreed that sporting should be part of the curriculum, the question of funding came under the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Several funding options were suggested, but the Department of Education indicated that talks were in the pipeline with National Lottery with the view of funding the programme.<\/p>\n

Committee members said sports and teachers’ unions should be consulted and made to support the initiative, highlighting that rural schools should not be left out.<\/p>\n

The department said the plan included the establishment of a “well coordinated and seamless school sport system,” and that it would regulate “access and delivery of school sport irrespective of ability” in all schools.<\/p>\n

It would also “facilitate cooperation with local government to ensure that schools have access to municipal facilities.”<\/p>\n

The plan also meant to sustain ongoing league programmes, talent identification and development and coaching to improve skills.<\/p>\n

The ministers in the respective departments were set to meet tomorrow over the plan.<\/p>\n

The presentation provoked several questions from the members, who said that the plan was overdue as it was mooted six years ago, but nothing had happened.<\/p>\n

The committee also indicated that the departments were set to be called back after the respective ministers met and discussed the plan.<\/p>\n
