The MEC for Transport and Public Works in the Western Cape Robin Carlisle said that over the next three years, 81 new schools will be built in the province.

The debate around the proposed closure of 27 schools in the province has not been received well.

The department’s spokesperson Siphesihle Dube said schools would also be built in areas with rapid population growth.

He added that in addition to the annual budget allocation of R770 million, national education has made available a further R750 million.

Dube said the expenditure over the three years from 2012 to 2015 will exceed R3 billion.
