Kaapse Forum en die Virseker Trust het vanjaar weer kragte saamgespan om die voortdurende stryd teen armoede in die Wes-Kaap saam met \u2019n nuwe geslag skoolleerders aan te pak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 organisasies het behoeftige graad 1\u2019s toegerus met \u2019n skooltas vol drome, hoop \u00e9n al die nodige skryfbehoeftes om hul skoolloopbane op die regte voet te begin. Net minder as 200 tasse, gevul met skryfbehoeftes ter waarde van nagenoeg R600 elk, is vandeesweek by skole en gemeenskapsorgsentrums in die Wes-Kaap uitgedeel. As deel van di\u00e9 projek is 20 tasse ook by Klipdale E.K. Prim\u00ear in die Overberg-distrik uitgedeel. Hierdie projek is deur die Virseker Trust finansieel moontlik gemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Bernard Pieters, bestuurder van gemeenskapsaktivering by Kaapse Forum, het navorsing al telkens getoon dat ho\u00ebr opleidingsvlakke tot laer werkloosheidsyfers lei. \u201cDaarom, meen Kaapse Forum, sal die skenkings wat by skole en sorgsentrums in die Wes-Kaap [afgegee] is, \u2019n belangrike bydrae [lewer] tot die toekoms van elkeen van die betrokke leerders wat by die projek baat,\u201d het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die heel basiese items in \u2019n graad 1-leerder se skryfbehoeftepakket kan \u2019n ouer minstens R580 uit die sak jaag. \u2019n Ontleding van die 2024 South African Child Gauge toon dat hongersnood onder kinders in 2022 die hoogste in die Noord-Kaap was, waar 24% van kinders erge wanvoeding getoon het, gevolg deur die Wes-Kaap (16%). Die Wes-Kaap is ook die enigste provinsie waar hongersnood onder kinders oor die afgelope twee dekades nie verminder het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met dit in ag geneem is dit te verstane dat duisende ouers van skoolleerders net eenvoudig nie die nodige hulpmiddele het om skryfbehoeftes aan te skaf nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns glo dat die skenking van skryfbehoeftes aan leerders in die Wes-Kaap \u2019n verskil sal maak in hierdie leerders se lewens \u2013 veral waar hulle nou hul skoolopleiding formeel afskop. Elke pen, potlood, toegewyde onderwyser en hardwerkende leerder bring di\u00e9 provinsie nader aan die dag waar die juk van armoede vir nog \u2019n gesin afgeskud kan word. Ons sien saam met di\u00e9 leerders en hul skoolgemeenskappe uit na die sukses wat voorl\u00ea,\u201d het Pieters ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morn\u00e9 van Emmenes, hoof van bemarking by Virseker, s\u00ea dis ook Viseker \u2013 Suid-Afrika se enigste trots- Afrikaanse versekeringshandelsmerk \u2013 se eer en voorreg om by die skooltassieprojek betrokke te wees en s\u00f3 die jong leiers van m\u00f4re toe te rus om hul volle potensiaal te bereik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns staan op die skouers van elke Virseker-polishouer wie se maandelikse bydrae tot die Virseker Trust help om Afrikaanse onderrig te bevorder, gemeenskappe in nood by te staan en Afrikaans as taal te bou, te groei en te sien floreer. Ons kinders is ons rykste skat \u2013 een waarin die hoop op selfs \u2019n beter Suid-Afrika opgesluit l\u00ea \u2013 en ons hoop dat elke blinknuwe tassie net die inleiding is tot \u2019n skitterblink toekoms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Pieters het die Wes-Kaapse regering in \u2019n oorsigdokument oor ekonomiese aangeleenthede benadruk dat armoede en die onderwyser-leerder-verhouding van die belangrikste elemente is wat \u2019n invloed op leerders se akademiese prestasie het. Daar is onlangs aangekondig dat die onderwyser-leerder-verhouding tans op \u2019n gemiddeld van 1:35 staan en in sekere gebiede is oorvol klaskamers reeds geruime tyd \u2019n ernstige probleem. Met die verlies aan n\u00f3g kundige onderwyspersoneel sal hierdie verhouding vanjaar verder toeneem, wat verdere uitdagings tot gevolg sal h\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kaapse Forum het reeds verskeie vergaderings met die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement gehad oor moontlike oplossings en samewerkingsgeleenthede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die burgerregteorganisasie sal ook druk op die WKOD plaas om sy beloftes na te kom om nuwe skole in di\u00e9 provinsie op te rig of in vennootskap met burgerregteorganisasies aan volhoubare oplossings te werk..<\/span> Raak vandag nog betrokke by Kaapse Forum en help om \u2019n verskil in Kaapse provinsies te maak.
