Note:
- There are no school without fence.
- Not Adequate fence only means that the height of the fence does not meet the required height of 1.8m as stipulated in the Norms and Standards.
- Incorrect measurement of the height of the fence in some of the schools
(b)(i) The main reason for the delay in the upgrade of fencing is the challenge to balance all infrastructure needs within the constraints of the available budget
(b)(ii) There are fencing projects at more than 500 schools scheduled for implementation in 2023/24
