The government should provide mobile classrooms if the issue is that classes are overcrowded – but every child should definitely be in school.
Government must make a plan to ensure that every child, whether they can afford school fees or not, goes to school. Every child deserves to learn.
It is very worrying because every child should be at school. It is also sad for those turned back because they are over the required age.
The department must engage in proper planning to ensure that every child is accommodated. It must work on adding more infrastructure.

At Caxton, every story is written by humans. We use AI only to perform quality checks - never to generate the news. Happy reading!
