Today, 20th February 2023, the Democratic Alliance’s (DA) Shadow MEC for Education, Khume Ramulifho MPL, DA Spokesperson for Community Safety, Ruhan Robinson MPL and DA Ekurhuleni Councillor, Cllr Izel Senol, will be conducting an oversight inspection to the Drommedaris Primary School in Reiger Park, Ekurhuleni.
The school is facing a severe challenge of overcrowding and a shortage of classrooms. It has a capacity of 1700 learners and is continuing with the rotational learning system due to a shortage of classrooms following a fire last year. To date, nothing has been done to refurbish the damaged classrooms.
In addition, the ablution facilities at this school are in a dismal state.
It is unacceptable that our learners at this school cannot be taught in a conducive environment for teaching and learning.
The media is invited, and there will be an opportunity for interviews and photographs.
Details of the oversight inspection are as follows:
Date: Monday 20th February 2023
Venue: Drommedaris Primary School
Address: 33 Oxford Street, Reiger Park, Boksburg, 1459
Time: 10:00
