He stated that almost all Khayelitsha high schools have improved their results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are satisfied with the results even though there is still room for improvement in other schools. Most of them achieved our mandate of reaching 80%. At least 14 out of 20 high schools are above 80%. And four of them are above 70% and only Mathew Goniwe and Sinako high schools who are 69.3% and 67% respectively,\u201d said Haido. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the learners managed to succeed under difficult circumstances they were studying under. Haido highlighted the lack of resources and vandalism to other schools as a major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany schools don\u2019t have libraries and laboratories. Some of them had computer labs but their computers were stolen by criminals. Other schools don\u2019t have fences because they were stolen,\u201d he explained, adding that load shedding negatively impacted&nbsp;their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haido urged the department to strengthen the security at schools by hiring security guards and installing cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Gugulethu Development Forum secretary Vincent Domingo is not impressed with the results. He says a lot that needs to be done for the schools to improve. He says almost all the schools in the area have had lower success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_b7454405\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/10058\/61df0fdd79084b61958670030bd4b796.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/cityvision\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/d54fbc7ca7074e63af81a88a2e7906c4.jpg\" title=\"GDF\u2019s Vincent Domingo.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">GDF\u2019s Vincent Domingo.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooking at last year\u2019s matric results, nothing is amusing. Only Fezeka High School has improved this year from 56,3% in 2022 to 67,9%. In 2022 Intshukumo Secondary School had a pass rate of 76,1%, but last year received 72,1%, ID Mkhize Secondary School was 74,4% in 2022 and last year got 73,7%. While Sithembele Matiso Secondary School in 2022 was received 88,7% and now got 83,7%. The numbers are lowering,\u201d said Domingo. He stated they will have a special meeting with the school heads to figure out the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said they could not fold their arms as if nothing happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs GDF we will try by all means to support our teachers. We cannot turn our backs on them when we are needed the most. We are appealing to other community stakeholders to come on board and save our schools,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Domingo cited the escalating crime in the area as one of the reasons schools achieved \u201cpoor results\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said Gugulethu has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.&nbsp;\u201cThe crime is getting out of hand now. People are killing each other left, right and centre. And our children are traumatised. It is something new in the area. We used to hear about shootings in other areas,\u201d said Domingo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he urged those who didn\u2019t make it to never give up and continue fighting.
