Agonising wait for school sport

The consultations followed in the backdrop of the submission of the Joint Task Team on the review of school sport. MYSC permanent secretary, Kitso Kemoeng said following a lengthy and involving exercise in the last two to three years, to try and reposition sport in schools, efforts to implement recommendations of the report that followed, hit a blank. He said some parties were not happy with the levels of engagement.

“The ministry, as the hardest hit party, has since taken the liberty to lead the process of normalising engagement levels, with successful meetings with individual parties already held, and another round of engagements in progress,” he said. Kemoeng said he was not in a position to set any timelines but the ministry is convinced that engagements will conclude soon for sport to take its position back in schools in 2023.
