I want our school to grow and excel towards a brighter, empowered future for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 1,2 million learners are starting the year in public schools today, including 93 000 Grade 1s and 98 000 Grade 8s. \u201cWe have 28 600 teachers and 7 300 public service staff members in our public schools this year,\u201d Maynier said, \u201cand we appreciate the work they do every day supporting our learners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_7c5dedbf\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Premier Winde and Minister Maynier in one of the n\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7881\/0432faa8186e40fba908da07baf30636.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/c8d9a312f8e44e6a9f0bbdf447f3e6ae.jpg\" title=\"Premier Winde and Minister Maynier in one of the new classrooms.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Premier Winde and Minister Maynier in one of the new classrooms.<\/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 class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Minister Maynier and Westcott principal Amanda For\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7881\/39fcce8a973a4dd0aba564d4ed0d0e0d.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/661c1908ffef43ad8eee852f2a47f2b5.jpg\" title=\"Minister Maynier and Westcott principal Amanda Fortuin shared a moment of achievement in welcoming learners after developments were completed to offer larger capacity. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Minister Maynier and Westcott principal Amanda Fortuin shared a moment of achievement in welcoming learners after developments were completed to offer larger capacity. <\/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>Expressing his sentiments, Winde said starting the school year was a product of collective hard work from the department and school staff across the board to ensure that as many possible children get placed. &nbsp;\u201cWe saw in the census how many 100&nbsp;000s of citizens move to this province every single year,\u201d he said. \u201cThat puts a huge burden on the education system to get learners placed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maynier makes a special appeal to parents to \u201censure that their children are at school every day, on time, ready and willing to learn. We encourage parents to play an active role in the life of their child\u2019s school and support the work of our teachers. Our officials and schools have been working hard to ensure that we are ready for the new school year, by procuring R49 million in textbooks, R24 million in stationery, R17,5 million in furniture and R2 million in equipment, so it is all systems go for the new school year!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur #BackOnTrack extra classes for learners and training for teachers will start up again in February, to reverse learning losses and give our children a better future in the Western Cape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur Rapid School Build programme continues to expand the number of places available at schools in our province, and additional classrooms and schools are reaching completion every week. Despite a massive R716,4 million blow to our budget, we are still building 10 new schools and 3 replacement schools for new learners joining us this year, including two for learners with special needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Custom\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_cbfaf726\">\n<div class=\"custom\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"429\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDavidMaynierDA%2Fvideos%2F1384114938977703%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have already placed around 120 000 Grade 1 and 8 learners, and we will continue our efforts to place the remaining learners seeking places at our schools, including the extremely late applicants arriving at our district offices daily.

It is all right to be a little nervous. Take it all in your stride and do your best. To our Grade 12 class of 2024, I urge you all to knuckle down and work as hard as you can. At the same time, take time out to enjoy your last year in school. To all our learners, take pride in your schools, and respect one another and your teachers. They work exceptionally hard to give you quality education to prepare you for your future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest infrastructure and admissions update is available here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
