Minister Siviwe Gwarube addressed a serious crisis in South Africa’s education system, where years of budget cuts have left schools struggling. Provinces are facing tough choices, like reducing teaching staff, which means bigger class sizes and less attention for students. This budget crisis not only threatens the quality of education but also burdens teachers and affects the whole community.
