Windmeul Prim\u00ear pronk met \u2019n splinternuwe skoolbus wat onlangs aan hom geskenk is. Dit volg nadat die Suid-Afrikaanse Moslem-liefdadigheidstrust (SAMCT) die skool se nood vir vervoer raakgesien het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die waarde van die nuwe bus vir die skool, wat in Noorder Agter-Paarl gele\u00eb is, is R1 245 000. Volgens die trust kwalifiseer die kinders nie vir vervoer wat deur die Wes-Kaapse Onderwys\u00addepartement (WKOD) verskaf word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie verwydering van vervoer het duidelik grondslagvlak-leerders en ander jong leerders by die skool aan buitengewoon onveilige toestande blootgestel wat skoolbywoning betref. Om vroegoggend, wanneer dit nog donker is in die wintermaande, minstens 3 km op grondpaaie te midde van voertuigverkeer te stap, het gewis die lewe van leerders in gevaar gestel en geregverdigde kommer onder ouers sowel as skoolbeamptes veroorsaak,\u201d s\u00ea Faried Boltman, \u2019n verteenwoordiger van SAMCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SAMCT is \u2019n organisasie wat finansiering, dienste en ander hulpbronne verskaf vir die verbetering van die lewe van kwesbares, ontheemdes en benadeeldes, ongeag ras of geloof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle werk ook daaraan om behoeftige organisasies op die gebied van gesondheidsorg, maatskaplike ontwikkeling, armoedeverligting en onderwys te ondersteun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Paarl Post<\/span> het na die WKOD uitgereik oor die beweerde onttrekking van hul leerdervervoer in die gebied. Millicent Merton, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die departement, het hierop beantwoord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIngevolge die WKOD se leerdervervoerskemabeleid word vervoer verskaf indien die afstand wat die leerder van sy\/haar woning na die naaste toepaslike skool moet stap, vyf kilometer of verder is. Daar is twee skole wat nader aan die leerders se huise is as Windmeul Prim\u00ear en Windmeul-leerders kwalifiseer dus nie vir leerdervervoer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns wil graag die Suid-Afrikaanse Moslem-liefdadigheidstrust bedank vir hul ruim skenking aan die skool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Windmeul Prim\u00ear is gele\u00eb in \u2019n landelike gebied en baie van die kinders wat die skool bywoon, woon op nabygele\u00eb plase waar hul ouers woon. In baie gevalle kom hulle ook uit lae-inkomste-huishoudings waar ouers nie private vervoer kan bekostig nie, meen Boltman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGesonde opvoeding is van kritieke belang om die siklus van armoede te verbreek en elke kind verdien \u2019n regverdige kans om sukses te behaal, ongeag die finansi\u00eble omstandighede van sy of haar ouers. Deel van daardie opvoedkundige proses is toegang tot veilige deurgang na en van die skool. Vervoer moet dus beskou word as \u2019n sleutelkomponent van enige fasiliteit wat betrokke is by kindersorg en ontwikkeling,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toe SAMCT te hore kom van die skool en die kinders se dilemma, het hulle dit hul werk gemaak om met \u2019n oplossing vorendag te kom. Hulle het onmiddellik stappe geneem om die situasie reg te stel met die verskaffing van \u2019n geborgde bus \u2013 dit als om sodoende \u2019n potensieel massiewe finansi\u00eble las van die benadeelde skool te verwyder, terwyl dit terselfdertyd veilige en betroubare vervoer vir sy baie jong leerders verseker, asook gemoedsrus aan betrokke ouers te bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is eenvoudig onaanvaarbaar om jong leerders, wat hul bes doen in reeds moeilike omstandighede, bloot te stel aan die bykomende veiligheidskwessies en vrese wat verband hou met die deurry van oop paaie op \u2019n daaglikse basis,\u201d voeg Boltman by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie skool het duidelik die veiligheidskwessies wat hulle in die gesig gestaar het, erken, maar het bloot nie die finansi\u00eble vermo\u00eb gehad om die vervoer wat so desperaat nodig was, te voorsien nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGevolglik het ons van die SAMCT met graagte gehelp deur \u2019n bus te finansier, wat die skool in staat stel om verantwoordelikheid te aanvaar om sy leerders veilig na en van die skool te vervoer, in plaas daarvan om leerders op hul eie op die paaie los te laat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die bonuspunt van die bus is ook die feit dat die leerders nou aan eksterne kulturele en sportaktiwiteite kan deelneem, wat as noodsaaklik beskou word om die algehele leerervaring uit te brei en bykomende geleenthede vir die skool se leerders te skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns is vol vertroue dat deur die toevoeging van die sleutelkomponent van veilige vervoer, die kinders wat hierdie laerskool bywoon, nou beter toegerus sal wees om op hul lesse te konsentreer \u2013 sonder om te worstel met die bykomende bekommernisse van moegheid en veiligheid, terwyl hulle ook nou in staat is om die wyer w\u00eareld te ervaar deur gereelde opvoedkundige uitstappies en buitemuurse sportuitstappies te onderneem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Windmeul Prim\u00ear pronk met \u2019n splinternuwe skoolbus wat onlangs aan hom geskenk is.
