He said he was encouraged at the involvement of members of thecommunity and their understanding for the problems being experienced bythe building process.
However, he has expressed his "confidence", that the contractor MagaqwaContractors, will complete the building of the new schools in Mfuleni,Delft, Kalkfontein and Du Noon, in time.
Provincial Minister Dugmore undertook to approach the Western CapeEducation Foundation to see whether they can assist with the planting oftress and laying of grass, so that the schools can be more habitual uponcompletion.
Said Mr Dugmore: "Clearly we have to think out of the box if we are tomeet the broader challenges we face, and therefor we are investigatingpublic private partnership initiatives, schools building classroomsthemselves, and the speeding up of the sale of underutilised and unusedschool land.
"I am particularly excited to involve the community volunteers anddepartmental officials in the building of eight new classrooms inManzomtombo High School (Mfuleni) and three classrooms in BrandwachtPrimary School (near Mossel Bay)."
