MEC for Education Kwazi Mshengu warns of severe negative impact on the classroom

"The KZN province has about 6000 schools, with 72% of them being in rural and township areas where poor socio-economic conditions are still militating against the historically disadvantaged people.

Mshengu said it also meant that the department will have to retrench 6114 workers of whom 2300 are educators. "The DoE presented a blow-by-blow impact of these budget cuts to the Provincial Executive Council over several meetings. We were strengthened by the decision of the Executive Council to take this matter as a matter of the whole provincial government as opposed to leaving it with DoE only," Mshengu said.

"Whilst there is nothing concrete yet from the National Treasury in terms of additional funding, we are pleased that the Provincial Executive Council has decided that the Department of Education must retain the existing staff establishment whilst we continue to sources more funding for the department," he said.
