The Eastern Cape education department has set aside R24-million to fix 134 schools in the 2016/17 financial year.
Already two tender notices for emergency repairs to 17 schools were advertised in Friday’s Daily Dispatch.
Eastern Cape education spokesman Loyiso Pulumani said last week: “The advertised ones are the first batch, with two other batches due next week. This is from our budgetary allocation for infrastructure.”
The provincial education department had to return R500-million of its 2015/16 infrastructure budget to national Treasury due to it being unspent, much to the shock of stakeholders and needy schools.
Schools prioritised for repairs in this first batch include junior secondary schools (JSS), junior primary schools (JPS) as well as senior primary schools (SPS).
Schools on this list are Caba JSS, Kwa-Payne Khanyisa JPS, Qweqwe JSS, Gotyibeni SPS, Matiso JSS, Ncedana JSS, Ncapai JSS, Ncerana JSS, Gqirha JSS, Zandise JSS, Hlamvana JSS, Jokwana JSS, Nontintsila JSS, Nyandeni JSS, Kwezi JSS, Dingilizwe SPS and Magila JPS.
Tender briefing meetings are scheduled to be held this month and the closing date is June 8. — msindisif@dispatch.co.za
