Gauteng Education MEC Lebogang Maile says the department will not deploy security guards to schools, citing budget constraints. Instead, available funds will be redirected toward hiring teachers, improving infrastructure, and strengthening learner support services.
His remarks come shortly after a fire damaged several classrooms, a library, and a science lab at Riverlea Secondary School, raising concerns about vandalism and school safety. Maile made the comments while outlining key priorities for the province’s education system, including curriculum delivery, admissions, and financial management.
