DA KZN: School oversight visit reveals up to 80 learners to a class
11 May 2015
AN oversight visit by the DA to Nqabeni Primary School, between Port Shepstone and Harding, has revealed shocking conditions with 530 learners being taught by just 12 teachers and up to 80 learners in one classroom.
The visit by my colleague, DA MPL Dr Rishigen Viranna, in whose constituency Nqabeni falls, comes after numerous complaints from the community about conditions at the school.
During the visit, Dr Viranna established that;
- Classrooms are extremely overcrowded. Grade 3 and 6 are made up of 75 and 80 learners respectively, each being taught by one brave teacher. The other Grade classes have approximately 45 learners to one teacher
