Poor education results: What can Parliament do?

Why do we have poor results in public schools and outstanding results in private schools? Are private school students inherently more intelligent than those at public schools? What can the legislature do about this problem of plummeting results?

Parliament has to simply be honest about the problem including its causes, effects and possible solutions. If the country was dealing with a transformative legislature with the capacity, ability and attitude to change things for the better, the education crisis would end. There is a portfolio committee responsible for matters relating to education.
