SEDC decries classroom shortage

A full council meeting on Monday learnt that there is need for additional education facilities even with the low enrolment levels.  “This is particularly the case in secondary schools as there are a variety of subjects taught separately. In junior secondary schools, out of a capacity of 4,590 students, 3,683 students were enroled, which indicates 82.2% enrolment. “

“All junior schools are undersubscribed though, with a total of 23 classes taught either in outdoor teaching areas or in laboratories which compromises the quality of teaching and learning,” said Kgomotso Kesianye, the Principal District Officer Development.
