Learners from Limpopo face a textbook crisis yet again

SEKHUKHUNE – The Department of Education in Limpopo has once again missed the March 2017 deadline to deliver textbooks and learner and teaching support material (LTSM) to more than 538 schools across the province.

“The presentation by the department to the portfolio committee on education last week Friday, confirmed that 531 schools are still without Siyavula textbooks for maths and science for grade 10 and 11, while seven schools are still waiting for Ku Dyela Nyama Ematlukeni for grade 12 to be delivered,” said Smalle.

He said the department had made a request to all schools to call its hotline, 0800-265-266 to report any shortfalls.
