And there is a good reason for this: if we don’t make this kind of investment now, we are quite simply risking our children’s futures. Drastic action is not just recommended, it is essential. Viewed in this light, R1.2bn is actually a drop in the ocean. But our learners are showing a remarkable diligence in attending. According to the attendance data we have recently collated, 15,702 learners have participated in Saturday lessons on average over three sessions.

We’ve seen a similar trend in our teacher training, with just short of 3,000 teachers attending the various forms of training available through the #BackOnTrack programme in the first two months.I spent some time at the Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute with grade 4 language teachers who are participating in what we call a “1 + 9” intervention.
