DA To Once Again Conduct Oversight At Eldridge Primary School

Today, Thursday 23 June 2016, DA Gauteng Shadow MEC for Education, Khume Ramulifho MPL, and Ward Councillor Peter Rafferty will conduct an oversight visit at Eldridge Primary School in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg.

The school has been plagued with infrastructure issues since the school refurbishment project started in 2013. Poor project management and an unclear mandate between the Departments of Education and Infrastructure Development has led to misuse of R18 million at the school.

During an oversight visit conducted by the DA earlier this year, it was found that refurbishment to the school was abandoned by the contractor and the work remains incomplete.

The DA will monitor the progress of this project and whether or not the Gauteng Department of Education has successfully renovated classrooms and maintained the facilities.

Date: Thursday, 23 June 2016

Time: 09h00

Venue: Eldridge Primary School, 38 Bokkeveld Crescent, Eldorado Park

There will be opportunities for interviews and photographs.

Eldridge Primary: Fix School To Normalise Teaching And Learning

Diminishing Quality of Teaching and Learning

Poor project management and an unclear mandate between the departments of Education and Infrastructure Development has led to misuse of R18 million at Eldridge Primary School in Eldorado Park.

During an oversight visit conducted by the DA, it was found that refurbishment to the school was abandoned by the contractor and the work remains incomplete.

This has caused school management to have to divide the school hall into eight classes, diminishing the quality of teaching and learning.

Danger to Learners

The incomplete work also poses a danger to learners who are exposed to substandard structures and demolished building with uncovered trenches.

Both the department of Education and Infrastructure Development must be held accountable for employing a sub-standard contractor to carry out work at Eldridge Primary.

The DA has submitted questions to both departments to establish the new scope of this project and to confirm the R12 million budget set aside for the school.

The DA will continue to monitor this project until it is completed.
