AfriForum Condemns Cutting of Subsidies to Gauteng Quintile 5 Schools

AfriForum condemns the drastic reduction in subsidies paid by the Gauteng Department of Education to quintile 5 schools, as well as the cutting of departmental posts at these schools.

According to Alana Bailey, AfriForum's Head of Cultural Affairs,

the cost-cutting measures will definitely have a negative impact on the quality of education in the schools concerned.

Consequences of this step include fuller classrooms and less individual attention to learners.

AfriForum demands a discussion about more autonomy for schools that bear the largest percentage of their budget themselves.

Author's summary: AfriForum condemns subsidy cuts to Gauteng schools.
