, QUESTION 1: MINUTES OF A MEETING
BACKGROUND
The Minister of Basic Education has received concerns from some higher education
institutions that first-year students are generally not ready for higher education. For
several years, the two sectors of education have operated in silos. The Minister has
decided to bring the different role players together in the education sector to forge a

with ease.
INSTRUCTIONS
Below is a transcript (exact words written down) of what was said under agenda item
of this meeting presented in the form of a dialogue. As the secretary of the Education
Crisis Committee appointed by the Minister of Education, it is your duty to take minutes

person said in turn. You should use the linear format of minutes (in sentences and
paragraphs). Your minutes should be 1 page in length.
