The Western Cape MEC of Education Debbie
Schafer on Thursday attended the launch of the Health Activist Workbook, which
aims at educating grade 8 and 9 learners about communicable diseases.
Minister Schafer in a statement said the
workbook is not a substitute for the text book, but should serve as a critical
resource to raise awareness of learners about TB.
Ministerial Spokesperson Jessica Shelver
said this intervention has become critical for the Western Cape Education
Department in partnership with the University of Western Cape to counter the
growing rate of TB and HIV in our schools.
Shelver added that the WCED has intensified
the efforts to raise learner awareness about the dangers of TB in our province's schools.
