Oakdale Secondary school to get new premises following protest | ntwaagae
Gauteng Department of Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has promised to build a new school for students of the dilapidated Oakdale Secondary school in Ennerdale, Johannesburg.
On Monday morning, deputy principal Ismail Snyders at a meeting said Lesufi had promised a new school building. "He cares more about learners. He was clear that the school governing body has no right to close the school and he as the MEC has no right to close down any school," said departmental spokesperson Steve Mabona."The HOD will be writing to the SGB soon demanding answers. Lesufi has emphasised that the new task team must move quickly and ensure that learning is taking place and Grade 12 pupils should be prioritised.
"Please our teachers, I am pleading with you, we want to go back to our classes, even if it is this week. It has been a month now, we have been sitting at home. It will be a process while the task team secures the land. To implement infrastructure in that new land is going to take time also while we are sitting at home.
