Equal Education said School Governing Body elections which were held in schools across the country last month were successful.

EE Head of Community Department Luzuko Sidimba said it is important for parents to take part in these elections.

Sidimba said there are about twenty-five-thousand schools in the country and every school has a governing body that is democratically elected.

EE is now running extensive campaigns to encourage parents to take part in school governing bodies.

Sidimba says all in all the campaign was successful, but there was few challenges which includes knowing the election dates of certain schools that was a challenge.

In those cases you find that in schools were we didn’t get their election date did not have the quorum on the day because there was no mobilisation of parents to attend the elections, Sidimba added.
