Limpopo education MEC Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya and public works, roads and infrastructure MEC Ernest Rachoene have joined forces to accelerate school infrastructure development in the province.
The collaborative effort intends to create a conducive learning environment.
A meeting with the Independent Development Trust (IDT) and project managers this week focused on fast-tracking the completion of school infrastructure projects.
The IDT is a state-owned entity that manages the implementation and delivery of critically needed social infrastructure programmes on behalf of the government.
Lerule-Ramakhanya has been actively engaged in various initiatives, including handing over newly built secondary schools to communities, and assessing and addressing storm damaged infrastructure. Limpopo experienced devastating floods last month.
Last week, the MEC spearheaded a delegation with external stakeholders, infrastructure teams, and the department’s curriculum team at the Future Nation Schools, Fleurhof Campus in Soweto.
The purpose of the visit was to gain insights into the best practices about the state-of-the-art school in Soweto.
The department plans to build similar schools in Mookgophong and Lephalale in the Waterberg District.
