According to one of the parents, who did not wish to be named, the learners had not had any maths or English educators for more than a year and the children were still required to write exams, they told“Parents called a meeting on Friday to find out the issues the teachers are facing and they were silent and refused to speak.”When the learners arrived at school on Monday morning, they were unable to gain access to the grounds as the school gates were welded shut.
“In spite of learners writing exams during this period, parents felt the need to shut down the school as yet again, learners were being asked to write exams without having had teachers in key subjects like English,” she said.
