Schooling is soon expected to return back to normal for the learners of Masibambisnane High school in Delft after last week’s protest.

The governing body together with parents held a meeting yesterday to deal with the protest by learners over teacher cuts and pupils.

Pupils were angry over the number of teachers being reduced at the school from 48 to 38 due to the reduction of pupils in the school.

The protest saw three pupils injured which resulted in the Department of Education closing down the school for two days.

Gert Witbooi, education spokesperson says that, officials the governing body and a pupil representative body have been working on a revised timetable to try and get the learning process at the school back to normal.
