Panyaza Lesufi, the antiwhite, anti-Afrikaans MEC for Education in South Africa’s Gauteng province has admitted that only 99 out of 2267 public schools in the province could be considered “great”. That represents 4%. Another 180 schools were deemed “good”.

This information was communicated to the press yesterday by Lesufi who has become known for his support for the “Afrikaans must fall” campaign, as well as his regular rants against “whites” and “racists” whose children do well at school. In one incident Lesufi also threatened to “close down” a private school because it had transported white Afrikaans children in a bus without “a sufficient level of diversity”.

As immigrants from all over Africa flock to the PWV region, the country’s economic heartland, as a result of the ANC-Communist Party’s open-borders policy, there is huge pressure on the province’s schooling system which must already cater for more than 2 million children in its public schools.

Panyaza Lesufi yesterday introduced the province’s school categorisation system, which rates schools according to performance.

Speaking at a press briefing on the state of education in the province, Lesufi revealed that, of a total of 803 secondary schools in the province, only:

99 were categorised as “great”;
180 as good; and
524 poor to fair. Of 1464 primary schools:
5 were categorised as “great”;
292 as good; and
1 167 as poor to fair.

The categorisation of secondary schools is determined by a weighted average using the bachelor pass rate, maths and science pass rates, and the matric pass rate.

The primary schools were measured in accordance with the 2014 Annual National Assessment results.

The department introduced the categorisation “to enable parents to see the performance of Gauteng’s schools on its website”.

The names of the schools and their categorisation have yet to be made available.

After years of ideological brainwashing about racism, sexism and demonising whites in school programmes, to the detriment of academic learning, the school system is in a shambles. Nearly half of pupils between grades eight and nine failed last year.

The Afro-Marxist Lesufi was nonplussed about poor educational results in his province.

“Grade 8 is when they go to high school. Grade 7 [pupils] are not doing badly with an 85% pass rate, so I don’t understand what happens when they get to high school,” said Lesufi.

“Our area of intervention is going to be between grades 7 and 10.

“We know where the problems are now, so we are not going to be surprised by Grade 12 performance.”

Recent reports revealed that the national education department was “massaging” the matric pass rate by adding 10% to pupils’ real marks (grades). Despite this, the matric pass rate declined last year.

Lesufi also has a plan to “flush out” white pupils and their fee-paying parents from the system, by means of his new powers to determine when a school is “full”. By swamping good schools with immigrant children, he hopes to create an “equality of misery” in the province.
