The Federation of Governing Bodies of South African Schools (FEDSAS), formerly the Federation of State Aided Schools, is one of several recognised voluntary associations of school governing bodies (SGBs) in South Africa contemplated in the South African Schools Act, 1996.[1][2] It was founded in 1993, before SGBs were mandated by the 1996 act,[3] as an association of predominantly Afrikaans-medium schools then accommodating white South Africans.[4] As of 2015, its membership comprises the SGBs of over 1,900 public schools, including Afrikaans and English single-medium schools and dual-medium schools.[1][5] FEDSAS has defended Afrikaans linguistic rights in several cases.[1][6][7]
