Education Minister Angie Motshekga said yesterday that the Department has delivered 98% of textbooks to inland areas, ahead of schools opening today. Motshekga recently settled a case out of court with NGO Equal Education who got her to agree to establish a minimum standard for infrastructure in schools.
HSRC Press has published a number of titles that address the issues in the education system and other societal problems that children may face during their schooling years. The Low Achievement Trap looks at the differences between a Grade Six maths class in South Africa compared its equivalent in Botswana. Old Enough To Know is a study of sex education in South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania, while Books and Babies looks at the issues facing learners dealing with pregnancy and parenting while still in school. Academic Interaction with Social Partners and Community, Self and Identity examine higher education and the role of universities in social development and Realising the Dream looks at unlearning the “logic of race” in schools.
At least 98 percent of textbooks had been delivered to inland schools ahead of the first day of school on Wednesday, the basic education department said.
“We are ready for day one,” Minister Angie Motshekga said in a statement on Tuesday.
