WCED to brief Vista High School pupils on plan to address their issues on Thursday

CAPE TOWN - Pupils at Vista High School in Bo-Kaap will be provided with more clarity about the plan to address some of the issues they’ve raised.

Some pupils disrupted class proceedings on Tuesday.

They were unhappy about a high teacher turnover rate and the absence of an academic recovery plan.

Officials from the provincial education department met with parents on Wednesday morning to discuss the way forward.

The department’s Bronagh Hammond said pupils would be briefed on Thursday.

"District officials will be addressing learners' grade by grade to discuss academic interventions and catch-up plans. The school has been identified as an underperforming school following their Grade 12 NSC results last year. An academic improvement plan has been developed to improve learner outcomes."
