The department called on Cosatu and other role players to assist them in their plea to national government to prioritise education.
This comes ahead of Finance Minister Tito Mboweni's Medium Term Budget Policy Statement on Wednesday where he's expected to outline various austerity measures taken by government in the wake of the COVID-19 impact.“We can’t continue to provide quality education to every learner in this province without money to provide for it. While the Western Cape prioritises education in our budget, every department would suffer if the budget cuts happen.
Cosatu's provincial secretary, Malvern de Bruyn said they're willing to support the department as soon as they engage in talks.
