Premier of the Northern Cape, Dr Zamani Saul, says that provincial government is in the process to complete the building of 13 new state of the art schools in the province. This follows at the backdrop of day one of the 2024 academic year.  Premier Saul says that parents should not keep children at home, as they belong in school. Saul says there is an increase in learner numbers across the province and the current capacity of existing schools does not cater for the needs of the bulk of learners. The new schools will thus address the increase in learner numbers. Northern Cape provincial government takes education seriously says, premier Saul.
