The government has renovated at least 2,400 schools since President Cyril Ramaphosa launched the Sanitation Appropriate for Education (Safe) initiative five years ago to fix 3,398 schools in SA with infrastructure problems.
"The rapid and successful roll-out of grade R in our schools meant that just under 4,000 schools were found to be lacking in either age-appropriate infrastructure, in particular, or inadequate infrastructure in general. We feel it is important that we draw attention to the fact that government has been hard at work to keep the promise the president made at the launch of the Safe initiative.
"Of the 2,478 completed projects, Motshekga said 184 school projects were allocated to private sector companies and from this figure 117 were completed.Motshekga also said the department completed infrastructure at 315 schools from a target of 331 through its Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery initiative .
