GDE must up resources to all schools with increased capacity
17 January 2023
The Gauteng Department of Education's (GDE) failure to meet its promises to supply schools with sufficient resources for the 2023 Academic Year has compromised learning and teaching at Ekurhuleni Schools.
The DA’s School readiness tour has discovered that Laerskool Birchleigh, Hoërskool Birchleigh and Phomolong Secondary are three schools in Ekurhuleni which are on high demand for learner placement but are still in need for more classrooms.
Despite this, the department has yet again failed to supply these schools with additional mobile classrooms even though it made a promise to Laerskool Birchleigh to fund the school for additional classes.
