Umholi wezeMfundo eGauteng uLebogang Maile uthi isifundazwe sidinga ngokushesha okungenani izikole ezintsha ezingu-200 ukuze silungise izinkinga zezindawo zokufundela.
Isibalo sabafundi eGauteng sesikhule saba ngaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2.8, okudale ukuminyana ezikoleni eziningi zasemalokishini.
Abafundi abaningi eGauteng bahlezi emakilasini aminyene futhi angaphephile kanti isifundazwe sidonsa kanzima ukuthola othisha abenele.
UMnyango wezeMfundo eGauteng ngeSonto uthe uhlelo lwezikole lungaphansi kwengcindezi. UNgqongqoshe wezeMfundo uLebogang Maile ukhulume esithangamini nabezindaba mayelana nezinkinga eziqhubekayo.
Isibalo sabafundi esifundazweni senyuke sisuka ku-1.4 million ngo-1995 saya ngaphezu kuka-2.8 million ngo-2026. UMnyango uthe lokhu kungenxa yokuthi baningi abantu abafudukela esifundazweni.
Lokhu kukhula kuye kwabangela izinkinga ezinkulu zokushoda kwendawo. Izikole eziningi emalokishini nasezindaweni ezisemadolobheni amakhulu zinabafundi abaphakathi kuka-60 no-70 ekilasini elilodwa.
Umnyango uthe zingu-723 izikole ezigcwele ngokweqile. Isifundazwe sidinga amagumbi okufundela angaphezu kuka-5,500 ukuze sinikeze wonke umuntu indawo eyanele.
UMaile uthe iGauteng idinga okungenani izikole ezintsha ezingu-200, kodwa izinhlelo zokwakha zihamba kancane. Izikole eziningi ziphoqeleka ukuthi zisebenzise amakilasi esikhashana angaphephile ezinganeni.
Imali nayo iyinkinga enkulu. Isabelomali sezemfundo senyukile, kodwa uMnyango uchitha ingxenye enkulu emiholweni yabasebenzi kanye nezindleko ezikhuphukayo. Lokhu kushiya imali encane kakhulu yokulungisa izakhiwo noma ukuthenga izinto zokufunda.
Abekho othisha abanele bezifundo ezibalulekile njengezibalo nesayensi. Inani elikhulu lezingane ekilasini ngalinye lenza kube nzima kakhulu kothisha ukwenza imisebenzi yabo. Abafundi abaningi bakuthola kunzima ukufunda nokuqondisisa umsebenzi wabo wesikole.
Umnyango uphinde waxwayisa ngokuthi izikhungo eziningi zezingane ezincane azibhalisiwe futhi aziphephile ezinganeni ezincane.
Ukuze kulungiswe lezi zinkinga, umnyango wenze uhlelo lweminyaka emihlanu ezayo. Uhlelo olusha luzogxila ekuletheni ubuchwepheshe obuningi ezikoleni nokusiza abafundi ngezifundo ezibalulekile.
