Pupils still attend schools with asbestos despite the department’s commitment to rebuild or revamp them as far back as November 2016
Thousands of pupils in Gauteng are crammed in rented mobile classrooms because contractors hired to upgrade their schools failed to complete the projects in time after being paid millions of rand. At least 10 schools whose upgrade projects were awarded through tenders in the last five years are yet to be completed, according to the provincial infrastructure department.
The DA is concerned that our learners in Gauteng are being failed by the ANC-led government. After conducting an oversight visit to assess school readiness today, the DA has observed that many learners have still not been placed. The Department of Infrastructure Development (DID) has failed to build schools on time despite the fact that they are given a sufficient budget.
