Casey adds that the Department also gave further details and telephone numbers that the parents can contact.
Although the Western Cape Education
Department has reported that there are places in some schools in Khayelitsha,
some children have been attending an unregistered school because parents say
they couldn’t find a place for them.
Education executives visited the school
premises and discovered them inadequate for learning, and there were no
resources.
WCED Ministerial spokesperson Bronagh Casey
explains further that what the parents have done, they have ignored the
Department’s offers complacently and have instead opted to place their children
at an unregistered and illegal school that has no real resources or equipment.
Casey said that on Tuesday officials from
the WCED visited the site of the illegal school to issue a notice that
indicated to parents that the school was not registered, and that the WCED has
arranged to accommodate their children at a legally recognised school.
Casey adds that the Department also gave further details and telephone numbers that the parents can contact.
