Chirwa, Ms NN to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What (a) total number of schools for learners with special educational needs can be found in Tsitsikamma and (b) steps has she taken to ensure that there are enough schools for all such learners in that area?
Reply:
There are currently no special schools in Tsitsikamma. The Eastern Cape Department of Education has, however, ensured access to education for learners with special needs, by designating and resourcing Graslaagte Primary School as a full-service school. The intention is to also designate and resource Storm River Primary School as the second full-service school in the area.
