Western Cape MEC of
Education Donald Grant today said the court order to halt the closure of 18
schools in the province is a loss of opportunity for the children.
MEC Donald Grant in
a statement said the interdict does not automatically imply that the schools
will remain open indefinitely. The future
will now depend on the outcome of the review application.
The Department is now
studying the courts decision carefully and will be consulting with their legal
team.
Meanwhile Provincial
South African Democratic Teachers Union’s Jonavon Rustin said they are happy
with the judgment.
Rustin added that
they are disappointed that other unions did not join in the fight to halt the
school closures.
