School safety a hot topic at CT education conference

CAPE TOWN - Western Cape MEC for Education Debbie Schafer says that school safety is one of the issues that are being discussed at an education conference in Cape Town.

The two-day conference kicked off on Monday at the Cape Town Convention Centre. It is being hosted by the Western Cape Education Department . Schafer says that the purpose of the conference is to bring various role players to discuss issues that are affecting education. Nearly two weeks ago, a Rusthof Secondary learner was stabbed allegedly by another learner on the premises while they were gambling."There are many challenges we all face every day - the issues of violence, poverty, inequality - and we trust that all of these are discussed and I look forward to hearing the suggestions that people have in dealing with these. The crucial point is that we can't allow these to hold us back.
