ANEZA SIYO: They are not doing enough. The schools are underfunded and a lot of them do not have enough staff members. The funds are not being properly distributed.

What do you think the government can do to improve the situation? Share your views with us on the Sandton Chronicle Facebook page.

JOHN DELPORT: It is outrageous. Primary and secondary education is the cornerstone. We can’t look at free tertiary education if we can’t get primary education right.

JABULANI MOTHA: The government needs to improve the situation. They should find qualified teachers and resources for the schools and make the schools the same as in town.

JULIA SEBOLAI: They are not doing enough. They must come up with a plan and involve other schools that can assist with the problem.

NAN MELVILLE: It remains a mystery to me how education takes bottom place. We can’t educate the population if the government can’t facilitate learning.
