FF Plus Condemns Subsidy Cuts for Quintile-5 Schools

The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) condemns the Gauteng Department of Education's decision to reduce subsidies to quintile-5 schools in the province from R900 to R315 per learner as of 2026.

According to Anton Alberts, this reduction particularly affects Afrikaans schools. The FF Plus views the sudden slashing of subsidies as an indirect attack on Afrikaans schools in Gauteng, placing them under financial strain and undermining quality education in Afrikaans.

In a province where education is already under pressure, it is unacceptable that a specific language community has to bear the greatest burden without prior consultation or clear justification.

The sudden slashing of subsidies to quintile-5 schools is an indirect, but obvious, attack on Afrikaans schools in Gauteng.
