Court order classrooms finally arrive at Amasango

After enduring years without proper infrastructure and taking legal action against the provincial department of education, the Amasango Career School finally has facilities to call its own.

After enduring years without proper infrastructure and taking legal action against the provincial department of education, the Amasango Career School finally has facilities to call its own.

At the beginning of this week the school received five 8m by 7m prefabricated classrooms in addition to a library, toilet block and a storeroom. The school is still on a waiting list to receive permanent structures at a later stage.

Amasango's principal Jane Bradshaw said that the temporary structures are going to take a lot of pressure off staff working at the school. Teachers will be able to give enough individual attention to the learners, and the learners' behaviour will be easily monitored, she said.

She also said that the new staff room will provide enough space for the teachers to do their administrative work while they aren't busy teaching a class. The school's deputy principal, Linda Ngamlana, who is also a qualified librarian, was thrilled that Amasango now has its own library.

This will give me an opportunity to work in a proper library where I can help the kids learn how to use it, she said. She was also happy that the school is going to have a more spacious storeroom than before. At first we had to keep our books in small safes and in the offices which made it hard to access them.

This is going to make our kids take their school seriously now that they're going to have a beautiful structure to be proud of and take care of. Ngamlana said that she hopes that the department will honour the second phase of the court order which is to build a permanent structure for the school.

Bradshaw told Grocott's Mail that the school's governing body and its legal team at the Legal Resource Centre have agreed with the department's provincial superintendent-general, Modidima Mannya, to send an independent consultant to come and see if the school is an adequate institution for the children that it serves.
