ACTIVITY 1
The Education Law Environment
The basis of education law is when an educator or any other authority figure has the authority to lay down rules and regulations. Educators are expected to be well informed about the law and applicable Education Acts and Regulations. The law enforces the rules of behaviour that are usually considered acceptable by society on members e.g. churches, schools, etc. Education law is a collection of legal rules from a variety of legal disciplines which have to be applied in education. It also indicates what is possible and what is not possible within the education environment and it makes certain actions possible or impossible. Education law is made up of those parts of the South African Legal System that can be applied to various facets of the education system. The three main branches of this law is Public Law which is aimed at public interest, Private Law which orders the respective rights and obligations of private persons and Formal Law which contains the legal rules that describe the procedures according to which material law can be enforced. Educators need to know education law so it can help them to make valid and legal decisions. All educators are involved in the management and education actions. It provides a clear framework for the role of educator as a professional person.
