“Toilets are a place for progress” UN-Water
Access to proper sanitation in school is not a privilege. It is mandated by the constitutional court that every school in South Africa must have access to adequate water and sanitation as it forms a part of the hard fought Norms and Standards. It is key to accessing the right to basic education. @dbe_za , @limpopoeducation and @kzngov , the moving of the goalpost when it comes to Norms & Standards only hurts the learners who form part of your constituency. According to the UN “toilets are a place for progress” but here as we can see the toilets from Bongumenzi High School in KZN are not up to the Norms & Standards set out by the constitutional court. #FixOurSchools #SeretiModikolong #SofundaSonke!
[WorldToiletDay] 🚽🚻 This year’s theme for World Toilet Day is “Toilets are a place for peace”. As it stands 1770 South African public schools still have unsafe and illegal pit toilets on site even after years of promises to remove plain pit toilets in schools. Water and sanitation form part of the norms and Standards that the @basic_education_rsa_ is mandated, by law to follow.
We call on @dbe_za, @siv_gwarube, LDoE, and @kzn_education to add the removal of ALL plain pit toilets from schools to your performance contract as NO learners should not continue to be stripped of their dignity because of your failures! We call for action on safe and clean sanitation but also underscore the link between sanitation, safety and human dignity.! #FixOurSchools #SeritiModikolong #SofundaSonke #worldtoiletday

On Saturday, the Equal Education Law Centre @eelawcentre and Equal Education Western Cape parents visited the Western Cape Education Department`s @wced_official school admissions pop-up station at Khayelitsha Mall.
