Mobile classes arrive – but what?
Parents were angry and upset as learners had to be accommodated in overfull classrooms at the start of the new school year.
MOBILE class rooms have been delivered to the Eden Park Primary School but are yet to be assembled. This follows after the Gauteng Department of Education (GDE) was supposed to deliver the extra mobile class rooms during December but failed to do so.
Parents were angry and upset as learners had to be accommodated in overfull classrooms at the start of the new school year. GDE then promised to deliver the class rooms on Friday, January 22. The classes arrived in bits and pieces which are now stacked on the premises as the school waits for the department to send a contractor to assemble the classes.
“The mobile classes were delivered as promised but they have not been assembled because we are still waiting for the department to send people to assemble them. We don’t know yet when the work will be done,” said acting principal, Kashif Oliphant.
The other acting principal, M Phillips, was not available for comment.
At the time of going to press, the RECORD had not received any comment from the GDE.
