MATRIKULANTE aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Newtown op Fort Beaufort moes hul proefeksamens die afgelope twee weke skryf in geriewe wat nie op standaard is nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool, wat in Mei 2015 in die Newtownwoonbuurt se gemeenskapsaal met twee gr. 10-klasse begin is, word tans uit vyf opslaan-klaskamers bedryf. Sedert die klaskamers se oprigting in 2016 het geen verdere ontwikkeling by die skool plaasgevind nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool se eerste groepie van 17 matrikulante het verlede jaar vir hul matriekeindeksamen gesit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luidens Margorie Fester, skoolhoof van Newtown, het hulle voortydig in Oktober 2016 by die klaskamers ingetrek omdat hulle bang was dat vandale die le\u00eb klaskamers sou beskadig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was nie eers \u2019n formele openingseremonie nie,\u201d het Fester ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tans het die skool geen water, elektrisiteit of selfs toiletgeriewe nie. Die leerders en onderwysers gebruik die geriewe van \u2019n naburige prim\u00eare skool en dit op sigself gee aanleiding tot dissiplin\u00eare uitdagings vir albei skole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In dieselfde tyd is \u2019n deel van die ou Towergeboue op die dorp vroe\u00ebr vanjaar opgegradeer en gerestou-reer tot \u2019n volwaardige, moderne ho\u00ebrskool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die projek het die Oos-Kaapse onderwysdepartement glo R53 miljoen uit die sak gejaag. Newtown met sy bykans 200 leerders het vanjaar 53 matrikulante en word deur vele uitdagings in die gesig gestaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luidens Fester het sy gesukkel om die skool se vakante poste te vul omdat daar net eenvoudig \u2019n groot tekort aan Afrikaanse onderwysers is. \u201cEk sit nou nog met een vakante pos wat ek sukkel om gevul te kry,\u201d het Fester moedeloos ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om alles te kroon is die skool se Afrikaanse onderwyser sedert die eerste kwartaal met onbepaalde siekverlof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mandisa Lubedu, onderwysont-wikkelingsbeampte in di\u00e9 betrokke kring vir die Amathole Wes-distrik, het by navraag ges\u00ea dat sy net so gefrustreerd voel dat daar met die bouery van die ho\u00ebrskool in Newtown so gesloer word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk hoop dinge gaan nou na \u2019n punt toe begin kom,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fester is onlangs die versekering gegee dat \u2019n taakspan van die onderwysdepartement binnekort die skool gaan besoek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intussen gaan die personeel maar voort met die hoop dat omstandighede by die skool sal verbe-ter en dat die langverwagte skool uiteindelik gebou sal word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
