The African Christian Democratic Party Member of Parliament Cherrylyn Duddley on Tuesday said the people of South Africa are frustrated that it is taking too long to deliver improved education.

She was speaking during the Basic Education Budget in the National Assembly.  

Keeno Peterson said the governments’ mantra of doing more with less, has become do more with more in the case of DBE as under spending and a lack of delivery has been a problem particularly in the sense of infrastructure backlogs.

“In the last financial year; the Department received R2.3 billion to replace 496 schools and provide 1 257 schools with water, 878 with electricity and 868 schools with sanitation” Peterson added.
