GDE fails our children by allowing shocking conditions to persist at schools
30 September 2019
Following a complaint from a member of the public, Alan Fuchs MPL, the DA’s Constituency Head for Lenasia together with Cllr Dave Dewes, visited the Apex Primary School in Lenasia.
This is not the first complaint about this particular school or the first site visit. In January of this year, the DA’s Shadow MEC for Education in Gauteng, Khume Ramulifho MPL, together with the former Constituency Head and councillors visited the school but were denied entry.
This obstructive attitude by the school management and the poor state of the school was reported to the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE), which responded by undertaking to deal with the concerns raised.
The most recent visit showed conclusively that the Department of Education has reneged on its undertakings.
