Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Budget Justice Coalition (BJC) has raised concern over impending budget cuts in the Department of Basic Education.<\/p>\n

This follows reports that provincial Education Departments would see significant budgetary cuts.<\/p>\n

The departments, countrywide, have been feeling the pinch after Gauteng announced it would cut school nutrition and transport budgets to save more than 3,000 teaching jobs.<\/p>\n

<\/b>
\nIn the Western Cape, thousands of teacher posts have been frozen due to the budget shortfall.<\/p>\n

BJC spokesperson Gillian Pillay says mobilising resources is important to ensure the government follows its mandate of providing quality basic education.<\/p>\n

“Without further intervention, it is likely that these budget cuts will constrain resources in schools that are most underprivileged, underserved and marginalised.”<\/p>\n
