Basic education minister Angie Motshekga has gazetted proposed changes to the Norms and Standards for Public School Infrastructure.

In the proposal, Motshekga wants the law that gives deadlines for eradicating pit toilets, providing electricity, and water, and building proper classrooms and fencing in schools to be changed.
