Another school was burned down by the country’s “barbarians” reducing the number of schools meant for blacks.

The school, located in the Vanderbijlpark location, is an elementary school that suddenly leaves a large number of pupils without a classroom.

Although the authorities have ordered an investigation into the incident, it is the work of vandals who decided to burn down the school just a day before the first day of the term.

The Tokelo Secondary School in Evaton, started burning in the early hours of the morning, and no trace of the culprits was found.

The fire reportedly caused a loss of more than R4m and repairs are only expected to begin after the investigation has been completed.

On Wednesday, schools reopened for the new school year, but thousands of scholars do not yet know where to go because there are too few schools and too few teachers.

In some schools, classrooms are so crowded that black pupils sit on buckets with an old beer desk crate for a desk.

It is reported that more than 6,500 schools have a shortage of furniture, and unskilled people are standing in front of numerous classrooms’ blackboard to try and teach pupils.

Experts point out that more than 25% of state schools are without enough desks and chairs for pupils.

A few new schools have been set up, but this compares poorly with the many schools burned down by pupils, and now black pupils are forced into traditional Model C schools, demanding that the school provide for English-language teaching for black learners . The school should also see to make teachers available to educate the black learners.
