We are calling for a conversation of stakeholders brought together facilitated by very well-informed intelligent facilitators. So that we can find a solution to the problems of education in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that various unions in the educational sector have submitted their proposals to political parties for inclusion in their manifestos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe unions have sent their proposals to the various political parties, so that they can incorporate that into their manifestoes.
