Die skoolhoofde van die vier skole sal op \u2019n rotasiebasis werk totdat die nuwe hoof volgende jaar op die eerste dag van die tweede kwartaal begin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kouga Express<\/em> het voorheen berig dat die skool, wat deur die onderwysdepartement as deel van die nasionale versnelde skole-infrastruktuurleweringsinisiatief (ASIDI) gebou is, sedert Mei 2014 in die pyplyn is teen \u2019n aanvanklike koste van R49 miljoen en \u2019n 35-maande konstruksietyd. Alhoewel konstruksie reeds einde 2019 voltooi is, is die sleutels eers in Maart vanjaar aan die onderwysdepartement oorhandig \u2013 nadat alle kontrakteurs betaal en die elektrisiteitsverbinding afgehandel is.<\/p>\n<p><em>Kouga Express<\/em> het ook voorheen berig dat die opening van die skool ook vertraag is deur onvoldoende vervoer vir leerders, die aanstel van \u2019n skoolhoof en die feit dat die skool nog nie \u2019n naam gehad het nie. Intussen moes minderbevoorregte leerders klaar-kom met vervalle klaskamers en onvoldoende infrastruktuur.<\/p>\n<p>Die multimiljoenrand-skool het ook intussen begin agteruitgaan, met oorgroeide onkruid op die sportveld en verf wat van die netbalbaan afdop. <\/p>\n<p>Plaaslike raadslid, Henni Britz, het onlangs die opwindende nuus gedeel dat die skool \u2019n naam gekry het en hoewel daar nie \u2019n amptelike bekendstelling was nie, vind onderrig reeds plaas.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens hom het afgele\u00eb plattelandse gebiede, soos die verre Baviaans, Andries-kraal en Condolo in Patensie, vir t\u00e9 lank aan die agterste dro\u00eb speen van die Oos- Kaapse Departement van Onderwys gesuig wanneer dit kom by geboue en geriewe. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeerders van hierdie afgele\u00eb gebiede was dikwels ontneem van behoorlike, toe-reikende geriewe en geleenthede. Die haglike omstandighede waaronder die kinders vir jare moes skoolgaan en onderwysers moes werk, was nie net onnodig nie, maar ook onaanvaarbaar. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEk het etlike jare gelede al betrokke ge-raak by De Mistkraal Prim\u00eare Skool en gedoen wat ek kon om die kinders en perso-neel by te staan. Hul pleidooie vir beter en toereikende geriewe het my nog altyd na aan die hart gel\u00ea,\u201d het Britz ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVolgehoue druk en vasberadenheid om skole soos hierdie se lot te verlig, het nou vrugte afgewerp met die verskuiwing van die leerders na die nuwe skoolgebou. Ek is saam met die skoolhoofde, personeel en leerders verheug dat hierdie skool nou uit-eindelik in gebruik is en die leerders uit-eindelik gehalteonderwys kan ontvang in \u2019n moderne, toegeruste instelling. Die toekoms van enige land en nasie l\u00ea uiteindelik opgesluit in die onderwys en oplei-ding wat sy kinders ontvang,\u201d het Britz bygevoeg.<\/p>\n<p>Distriksdirekteur vir onderwys, Nkosinathi Godlo, het bevestig dat die vier skole se leerders op 2 November by die nuwe gebou begin skoolloop het. Volgens hom is alle logistiek, asook leerderver- voer deur die distrik uitgesorteer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDie skool is tans oop en funksioneel en daar is leerders vanaf graad R tot sewe. Die dertien opvoeders is ook almal in klaskamers besig om klas te gee,\u201d het Godlo ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n<p>DA-skaduminister van onderwys, Yusuf Cassim, wat onlangs vir \u2019n oorsigbesoek by die skool was, het ges\u00ea dat hy ingenome is omdat die leerders nou hul nuwe skoolgebou kan geniet. Hy het genoem dat hy tydens die oorsigbesoek sy kommer gelug het teenoor die verteenwoordigers van die onderwysdepartement wat saam met hom daar was. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHierdie amptenare het belowe dat die skool binnekort gereed sou wees en ek is bly dat hulle by hul woord gehou het. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEk is dankbaar dat hierdie leerders nou hul akademiese aktiwiteite kan voortsit in \u2019n skool wat bevorderlik is vir leer en onderrig. Hierdie nuwe instansie met beter geleent-hede sal leerders help om vorentoe te beweeg in die lewe en hul drome te verwesenlik.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2019N
