Monday 21st

Visited school and sat in on class 4. This is situated in a converted garage which means there is not much light or ventilation until they open the garage door. I asked the teacher what I could do to help and she presented me with a list with 6 names of her pupils who needed one to one tuition. This ranged from help with maths, writing to reading. I was told that some of these children aged up to 10 were attending school for the first time. IN the Eastern Cape, one third of children do not complete basic schooling.
