This is after 679,837 learners in the province did not have all required textbooks in the 2017/18 financial year. DA lodged a complaint with the commission in October last year about a severe shortage of textbooks in the province.
Commission’s provincial manager Eric Mokonyama said after considering the department’s 2017/18 annual report the commission noted that the department admitted to not being able to meet its target relating to the provision of school textbooks. “The Auditor-General indicated that the audited value of the percentage of learners provided with the required textbooks in all grades and in all subjects as being 31.26% as opposed to the reported 63%,” Mokonyama said.
