"A substantial part of the low rates of retention is caused by learning deficits acquired at the primary level due to the low quality of education."
Asked to comment‚ basic education spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said President Cyril Ramaphosa had allocated money to"fix the foundation of the education system". Mhlanga rejected claims by the working paper."The researchers are talking as though we are not doing anything. The majority of our schools are fully functional for more hours than what they are stating.
"We motivate our teachers to do their work. If you look at the district performance as far as matric exams are concerned‚ it shows that there is a lot of effort being put into supporting learners‚ making sure that teachers arrive on time‚ start teaching on time and teachers remain in class for the number of hours required a day‚" he said."We are not paying these teachers extra‚ they are doing it out of dedication and commitment. They want learners supported so that they can pass.
The researchers pointed out that"increasing government spending on education will not unconditionally improve learner outcomes without paying attention to how the money is distributed and effectively utilised".
