SPTC breaks own rules on pre-schools

Tebogo Matlhogonolo confirmed that the council has failed to meet requirements imposed on private pre-schools because of financial constraints. That is why the council’s inaugural pre-school has no toys, baby toilets, outdoor play area and other requirements in the early childhood care and education by-laws.

"It is true and it is very unfortunate that the situation is like this. We had explained from the beginning that we are not prepared to introduce pre-schooling because we have set regulations for private operators.
