The Department of Basic Education said it has committed itself to eradicating mud schools in the country by the end of the 2015 financial year.

Basic Education Spokesperson Panyaza Lesufi said the challenge of mud schools is prominent in the Eastern Cape.

Lesufi said that mud structures would be a thing of the past in the country within the next two years.

Lesufi added that the announcement of the eradication of these schools is nothing new and added that the President stated it in his State of the Nation address.

“Minister Motshekga stated it in her Budget Vote Speech and that is the reason why we are puzzled by organisations that protest against mud schools when we have already committed ourselves by the end of the 2015 financial year,” Lesufi added.
