Quotes There is in fact no need to change the law if the Department is committed to following proper processes and carefully considering the implications of each case. Closure of small schools will increase the need for scholar transport and for school hostels. Schools to which learners are sent will have to be large and well-resourced enough to receive the new learners. All of these consequences must be carefully considered. While we agree with implementing steps to improve education provisioning by the closure of small schools, which often are multi-grade and lack teachers and resources, we caution against the Minister’s intention of uniformly closing all schools with 135 students or less as some of these schools are necessary given location. The aim of school closures is to improve opportunities for learners by placing them in schools better equipped to provide a quality education. School closures are a common occurrence throughout the country and internationally and form a part of any provincial department's education strategy when re-evaluating and assessing the size, shape and needs of their education system.
