The Congress of South African Trade Union in the North West has called on the Department of Education to take learner transport seriously. 

This is after it was reported that most farm learners in the North West have not been able to go to school due to the late or non-running of learner transport in the area. 

Cosatu says action must be taken to assist the educators and learners to be in classes every day. 

Cosatu North West Provincial Secretary Solly Phetoe called from the Premier Thandi Modise to take the matter seriously and ensure that the contractors operate well.

Phetoe added that this is demoralising to the educators and the learners because they are missing out on a lot of work and they need to improve on their second position that they got in 2013 in the national matric exam results.
