The African Christian Democratic Party has raised its concern regarding learners who attend Mandisa Cenga school in Philippi are allegedly still having classes in containers.

Meanwhile last week MEC of Eductaion Debbie Schafer said in a statement that the WCED is aware of this need and have therefore already budgeted for a new high school in this area.

It is currently included in the department’s infrastructure plan.

ACDP Provincial Leader Ferlon Christians said we cannot let learners go to school in these conditions and expect them to excel.

Christians said we have now asked the Minister Debbie Schafer to intervene because they say that the department promised them a school in 2010 and nothing has been done as it has been 5 years done line already.

“We appeal for the Minister to intervene so that a new school can be built” Christians added.
