How schools have fared, nine years on

Putuma When GroundUp visited Putuma Junior Secondary School in the Mbhashe municipality in 2013, there were 110 pupils in grade 9. The then deputy principal, Zukile Gana said 24 teachers and 1,175 pupils were enrolled. Some of the pupils were sitting on concrete building blocks. When we visited in April, deputy principal Thabisa Kalipa told GroundUp the children no longer sat on blocks.
