...with Gauteng Province taking the lead in digital infrastructure distribution, there
are still basic IT gaps in the Mpumalanga schooling landscape - Mpumalanga school
analysis
This trend is not only poor in Mpumalanga province, but other provinces also suffer
from lack of basic IT infrastructure
Internet service is
very low in schools
across the
provinces
...your school does not have to lack such basic infrastructure due to low exposure of
information
It is the responsibility of the school to provide information to provincial education
departments (section 59 of the Act) about their shortfall in infrastructure
Goal 23 of the department of basic education is to ensure that all schools are funded at least
at the minimum per learner levels determined nationally and that funds are utilised
transparently and effectively
National norms and minimum standards for school funding are stipulated in terms of the
South African Schools Act, 1996 (No. 84 of 1996). It also deals with the procedures to be
adopted by provincial education departments (PEDs) in determining resource allocation to
their schools
Lungis Concept is well positioned to direct the school to relevant resources and
funding options available to secure the infrastructure needed as well as installation
Currently it is difficult for schools to access information on when their infrastructure needs will be
dealt with by the provincial department and what they can do in the interim to improve the situation
This is partly due to the fact that policies on how schools should be fairly targeted over time are not
specific enough which, in some provinces, leads to the use of unclear or ad hoc criteria
