The Basic Education Department wants answers for the drowning of a 15 year-old Eastern Cape pupil

Equal Education members protested outside the KZN Education department demanding that it release its learner transport policy.

Civil rights groups have raised concern that many children are still not being fed under the government’s school nutrition programme.

EE said the DBE must provide regular updates to the public on how schools are coping and how are they being supported by the government once teachers and learners have returned to classrooms.
