Overcrowding crisis persists in Shashe West primary schools :: Mmegi Online

Overcrowding in some primary schools in Shashe West Constituency has reached alarming levels, with learners filling classrooms as government continues to delay the construction of the long-promised second primary schools in some villages.

Despite years of pleas from parents, teachers, and community leaders, the project remains stalled, leaving pupils to learn under strained and increasingly difficult conditions. This came to light during a parliamentary session when Shashe West Constituency Member of Parliament (MP), Jeremiah Frenzel, asked the Minister of Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Ketlhalefile Motshegwa, whether he is aware of the overpopulation of students currently being experienced in the primary schools located in Chadibe, Borolong, and Shashe-Mooke.

Secondly, he questioned what plans are being put in place to address the situation, and if the planned construction of new primary schools at the above-stated villages using the Development Manager (DM) Model is still underway.
