As the first term of school has come to an end today the Western Cape Department of Education, said it has increased security at four-hundred and twelve schools identified as high risk for vandalism and burglary.

MEC Debbie Schafer said this term the department experienced minor challenges but majority of schools started teaching and learning on day one of the school year.

Ministerial Spokesperson Jessica Shelver says we would like to appeal to parents to ensure our learners make the most of the rest of their school year.

Parents play a key role in building reading and writing of their children by encouraging them to read during the holiday and after school hours.

Schafer said that we also urge community members to be extra vigilant throughout the holiday period and to immediately report any suspicious behaviour or activities that occur within the premises of the schools and to report this immediately.

We wish you all a short but well-deserved break during the April holiday, Schafer added.
