Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi says there are about 700 pupils who have not yet been placed in public schools across the province, a big improvement on last year.
Lesufi said there were certain schools that parents preferred and as a result the system was clogged because of their preferences.
He said the department was facing a challenge of parents not believing their children could get quality education from township schools. “This year we are concluding placements before the end of January. We will continue to build beautiful schools. We will continue to eradicate mobile and asbestos schools. We will continue to build schools of the future” said the MEC.Lesufi said 95% of teachers in Gauteng were fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
