Gauteng Department of Education neglects school infrastructure
6 March 2018
The state of Gauteng school infrastructure is a critical issue, as many schools are in a terrible state of disrepair and overcrowding is a serious challenge.
Due to the problems experienced with the online registration system, many learners were not placed timeously, resulting in severe overcrowding in schools.
This week Kutumela Molefe Primary School in Tshwane was forced to close its doors as parents are unhappy with the overcrowded classrooms. This situation has negatively impacted on teaching and learning at the school as there are 135 learners per classroom.
The Department had promised to deliver mobile classrooms to this school on the 1st March but to date this has never happened.
