Handover of Lokwe Junior Secondary School continues Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI) delivery
The Accelerated Schools Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI) of the Department of Basic Education will on Friday 14 August 2015 continue to deliver sustainable change to rural education as Alfred Nzo Executive Mayor, Councillor Eunice Diko, officially handover Lokwe Junior Secondary School in Mount Frere, Eastern Cape.
The school, built at a cost of just over R31 Million as part of ASIDI, an R8.2 billion programme whose mandate is the eradication of schools built from inappropriate material, in their entirety, and to provide basic services of water, sanitation and electricity to those schools that never had any.
Much more than a story of brick and mortar, ASIDI schools are helping to restore dignity and pride for people who had gone far too long deprived of facilities that are taken for granted elsewhere. The new state of the art facilities are providing an environment that enables optimum learning and teaching.
Members of the media are invited to witness the handover and will be afforded interviews as follows:
Date: Friday, 14 August 2015
Time: 9h00
Venue: Lokwe Junior Secondary School, Cofimvaba, Eastern Cape.
