14. FUTURE PLANS ON SCHOOL SPORT The DBE-SRSA partnership innovated by introducing the three-seasonal model of implementation. The model was meant to maximise participation and pace resource utilisation in school sport Upon reflection, SRSA is of the view that the model is not sustainable and proves to be strenuous on resources The view is to consider cutting back from three seasonal national championships to only one – the rest to be implemented only up to provincial championships. The current review of Sports and Recreation Act and the DBE-SRSA MoU will have great implications for school sport implementation.
