The Portfolio Committee on Basic
Education had a long-week oversight visit to the Eastern
Cape to inspect readiness in two worst
performing districts in the province.
Committee Chairperson Hope Malgas
has called on the Eastern Cape Department of Education to fix issues which
require urgent attention including scholar transport and shortage of
textbooks.
Malgas said when it comes to the shortage
of certain textbooks, stationery and learner/teacher support material we
requested the department, that where there is a shortage should be dealt with immediately
and books delivered to the affected schools.
“We did discover within the Qumbu
and Sterkspruit that there are certain schools that had an excess in textbooks
and stationeries which is unacceptable” Malgas added.
