📍 Gqeberha, Eastern Cape | School Safety & Mobile Library Handover

Safe schools and access to books — two things every South African child deserves, no matter where they grow up.

This morning, Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube undertakes a school safety inspection and participates in an anti-bullying pledge signing at Dr Habelgaarn Primary School.

The Minister will then joins learners at B.J. Mnyanda Primary School in KwaZakhele for the handover of a Mobile Trolley Library, aimed at promoting a culture of reading and learning.

Small acts. Real impact. Children at the centre of it all.

The research highlights a vital truth: while learner participation is consistently high, deeper conceptual teaching & independent learner reasoning still require sustained, ongoing coaching & mentoring for long-term impact. 🧠🏫 #TeacherDevelopment @funda_wande @WitsUniversity
