Scholar transport, which few parents ask about
Where children walk a long way to school, the province may be obliged to help, and this is one of the most under used entitlements in South African schooling.
- Provincial learner transport programmes exist for learners living beyond a set distance from the nearest appropriate school. Ask the school and the district what the current qualifying distance is and how a route is applied for.
- It is applied for through the school and the district, not by an individual parent approaching a transport operator.
- Where a route already runs, ask how a learner is added to it, and what happens when numbers exceed the vehicle.
- If a scholar transport vehicle is overloaded or unroadworthy, report it. Overloading of learner transport is a persistent safety problem, and the province and traffic authorities can act on it.
- Private scholar transport is not the same thing. Where you pay an operator directly, check the vehicle’s roadworthiness, the driver’s professional driving permit, and whether passenger liability cover is in place.
Distance also affects placement. If a child cannot safely reach a school, say so when applying, because it is relevant to where the district places them.
No fee schools and what cannot be charged
Many schools in this district are no fee schools, funded so that no compulsory school fee may be charged. Where that applies, a school may not require a registration fee, an admission deposit or a levy under another name, and a voluntary contribution must be genuinely voluntary.
The national school nutrition programme provides a daily meal at qualifying schools. If meals are not being served, that is worth raising with the district rather than accepting.
Escalation
The principal first, then the school governing body, then the Pinetown district office of the KwaZulu Natal Department of Education. Childline is 116, free and 24 hours, and an emergency in progress is 10111. Corporal punishment is unlawful in every South African school and can be reported directly to the district or to SAPS.
