Four schools — Tyityaba Primary School, July Senior Secondary School, Sakhingomso Primary School and Nathaniel Pamla High School — all based in villages near Peddie and represented by the Legal Resources Centre — approached the high court in Makhanda last month to order the provincial government to provide transport to those who qualify.
Majola said in his affidavit that pupils as young as six were walking long distances to school even though they qualify for state-provided transport.In an answering affidavit, the head of the provincial department of education, Themba Kojana, said he had requested the provincial department of transport to provide transport to pupils who qualify for it, as of today.
According to the national policy on transport for schoolchildren, the responsibility for this is shared between the departments of transport and education at provincial and national levels. The provincial departments of education select which pupils qualify.
