GROUNDUP : Govt to finally build Makhanda special needs school — 12 years after court order

Twelve years after it was ordered to by a court, the Eastern Cape Department of Education has submitted an implementation plan to build temporary school premises by August 2023 and a permanent school premises by 2027 for the Grahamstown Amasango Career School.

In 2010, the small special-needs school, which has been operating out of an abandoned railway station in the industrial area of Makhanda since 2001, won a landmark court order declaring the schools learning environment unconstitutional. The school’s principals and the School Governing Body spent nearly a decade engaging the department around meeting the court order, says Cameron McConnachie, the director of the LRC Makhanda office.

Mayalo stated that school facilities at the old railway station are “wholly inadequate” for learning and that Amasango has been unable to admit new learners to the school due to a lack of space.

I don't trust them unless there would be a total change in leadership.

Let the looting begin.
