All learners must be placed on day one
9 January 2016
Gauteng Education MEC, Panyaza Lesufi must prioritize all learners who applied to be placed in schools last year to ensure they start learning from day one.
It is a great concern that there are still many learners who are yet to be placed, despite applying on time.
The MEC should provide more resources to schools with high demand. These include more classrooms, teachers and learner materials.
Parents are put in a difficult financial position when their children are not placed, as they cannot budget for uniforms, school fees and other materials needed.
