FF Plus Condemns Sudden Subsidy Cuts for Quintile-5 Schools in Gauteng
The Freedom Front Plus (VF Plus) condemns the Gauteng Department of Education's decision to reduce subsidies to quintile-5 schools in the province from R900 to R315 per learner as of 2026.
This reduction affects Afrikaans schools in particular, according to Anton Alberts.
The sudden slashing of subsidies to quintile-5 schools is an indirect, but obvious, attack on Afrikaans schools in Gauteng.
The decision places Afrikaans schools under financial strain and undermines the sustainability of quality education in Afrikaans, without prior consultation or clear justification.
- Affects Afrikaans schools in particular
- Reduces subsidies from R900 to R315 per learner
