EXTRACT A
When almost a third of learners halfway through their second school year
(Grade 2) do not know all the letters of the alphabet, and fewer than half of
Grade 6 learners tested could achieve the Grade 3 benchmark in reading
fluency, we are in a crisis. It represents a devastating disregard for our
responsibilities to the next generation, as well as a national humiliation. It
happened under the noses of our teachers, education departments, political
parties, government – and parents. Not another day should be lost in tackling
this wasteland. We have lost a decade of progress; the average Grade 4 child
in South Africa is three years behind their Brazilian counterpart. These
measures will show results and help restore citizens’ sense of priorities. A
child can learn more under a tree with a good teacher than from an untrained
teacher in a pristine building. To borrow the phrase of US campaign expert
James Carville, who coined the election theme, “It’s the economy, stupid”, in
education “It’s the teaching, stupid.” Still, physical conditions in many schools
are not acceptable. Someone needs to be named to take responsibility for the
quality of buildings, and to resolve the problem of empty schools, including
many Nelson Mandela raised money to build. By mid-2023 there remained
3,300 schools still using pit latrines, in which small children have died. For
pity’s sake, can we not end this rapidly, by putting one person in charge and
accountable in public, until it’s done? The budget for 4,000 schools was R10-
billion, which seems more than generous. Since most schools without proper
toilets are in rural areas, where the average school size is fewer than 500
learners, the amount of about R2.5-million per school seems excessive. An
audit committee should be asking searching questions. Source: Page 3 of 6 In
