Maile flags Gauteng special school placement pressure

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

Gauteng Education MEC Lebogang Maile has acknowledged continued pressure on the province’s special school placement system, with 702 pupils currently awaiting placement.“Progress must never become an excuse for complacency,” he said, adding that the province needed to continue reducing barriers to education, expanding appropriate placement capacity, and strengthening mainstream inclusion.

The department said the pupils are being supported while they wait for spaces at appropriate special schools, but stressed that placement depends on more than the availability of classrooms.
