The provincial department of transport and public works has released artist\u2019s impressions of the two new schools namely Vredekloof Primary School and the Kraaifontein High School. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Department spokesperson, Byron la Hoe, says a total of R100 million has been set aside for building these two schools, which will house 1 240 and 1 100 learners respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says the schools are expected to be completed in August 2018, if everything goes according to plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe school buildings will comprise a framed concrete structure and a mixture of face brick and painted infill walls. Teaching facilities at Vredekloof Primary will comprise 28 standard classrooms, four Grade R classrooms, three specialised classrooms, two multipurpose classrooms and a science laboratory. Teaching facilities at Kraaifontein High will comprise 30 standard classrooms, three specialist classrooms, two science laboratories, two multipurpose classrooms, a multimedia centre and computer room. Both schools will have halls, administrative buildings and sports fields.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both projects, he says, will use labour-intensive methods which will provide a limited number of short-term work opportunities for local people as well as skills training. A total of R4 million will be spent on local labour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
