SPEEDRUN – More schools opening in Western Cape – Hypertext

The Western Cape Provincial Government is set to open nine new schools, 265 new classrooms are set to open in a very short amount of time, with most set to open this month.

“During my Adjustment Budget speech in December 2024, I said that we would need to make provision for these new schools, and new classrooms, to have teachers, and that we are considering all available options ahead of 2025 school year,” said Western Cape Education MEC David Maynier.

“I said that we would fight for our teachers, and we continue to do so. Through further budget reprioritisation, we are in a position to make up to 477 new growth posts available to schools with a significant increase in learner numbers in 2025, and provide staff for the new schools we have completed.”
