Media Alert: Minister Grant to Inspect a "Replacement School" Building Site

19 July 2011

Tomorrow, Minister Donald Grant will be visiting Oaklands High School to inspect the building site of a new school building.

The current structure is 57 years old and is a legacy of the apartheid era. The existing prefab school is therefore being replaced with a brick and mortar structure to ensure that the learners learn in a better and safer environment.

This falls under the Western Cape Education Department's (WCED) infrastructure plan, which includes the replacement of 20 schools built with inappropriate materials within the next three years.

Date: Thursday, 21 July 2011
Time: 10:45
Venue: Oaklands High School, Racecourseweg, Lansdowne
