Living in Gauteng is an extreme sport: A total of 488 schools are on an infrastructural maintenance programme, but public money is going through a 'bottomless pit' due to recurring incidents of vandalism.😱 Read here➡️
According to Chiloane, a total of 120 schools were vandalised since the beginning of last year’s academic year, with 24 institutions affected during the December holidays.
“Vandalism of schools, should be treated as a crime against the people of South Africa – treacherous and a treason. “But the most important intervention is the community around the school – an important stakeholder we want to come on board.”DGE head of department Edward Mosuwe said unhappy parents were entitled to lodge appeals against school placement.“Out of the 4 801 appeals received, there have been 292 parents whose applications were upheld, because there were administrative challenges which cropped up in at the point of placement.
“The department has a constitutional responsibility and an obligation to find a child a school – sometimes not where the parent has applied.
