Gqebera High School




This is by far the school in the worst condition we have seen. There was a fire in December and no one has cleaned up the rubble. Only one classroom in the whole school has electricity because of vandalism! It really looks like a prison and the teachers seem very pessimistic. They have recently gone from around 1000 learners to 352. What a big jump!

  1. Makes ya really apprieciate what we have here. Looks like they could just clean up and it would be better? Doesn't the community get involved?

  2. Yes, indeed! If I were the principal, I would organize some sort of group and spend every weekend I had cleaning it. It really wouldn't take that long. The community really is too busy working two jobs. You should see the neighboring townships and poverty surrounding the schools. Even the teachers admitted that they send their kids to other schools. Crazy, huh?
