Prioritise improving school infrastructure - Sadtu─── 07:06 Sun, 21 Aug 2022
The South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) in Bloemfontein has urged the Free State Department of Education to intensify efforts to improve infrastructure in schools if it wants to have quality education.
The union said this during the Education Department’s lekgotla on school infrastructure in Bloemfontein.
The Infrastructure Lekgotla was aimed at developing the department’s strategic infrastructure plan for the next five years. Some of the pressing issues on the programme included upgrading sanitation facilities, building schools that are equipped with ICT facilities and capabilities, as well as the building of 52 technical schools in the province.
