Replacing inappropriate structures requires building a new school on the existing school property. In some projects, the new structure is built adjacent to the old structure so that the learners may continue to use the premises of the old school while the building of the new structure is underway.
In other instances, the provision of alternative accommodation (such as mobile units) is required for learners during the building process. The old inappropriate structures are torn down to make way for the new building.
Each replacement school will typically include all modern day school features such as a media centre/library, laboratories, feeding kitchens, computer facilities and workshops where necessary.
It is an exciting initiative that will ultimately benefit approximately 50 000 learners who will be able to learn in environments that are safer, bigger and more conducive to quality teaching and learning.
The distribution of replacement schools in each district that will benefit from this plan is as follows:
District No. of replacement schools
Cape Winelands 2
Overberg 5
Eden and Central Karoo 5
West Coast 5
Metro Central 9
Metro East 4
Metro North 10
Metro South 6
Total: 46
There are also four replacement classroom projects that will be implemented during the three year period. These projects entail the replacement of certain sections of schools that are deemed inappropriate or potentially unsafe.
The classroom projects are situated in the following four districts:
District No. of replacement classroom projects
Metro North 2
Metro Central 1
Cape Winelands 1
Total: 4
The replacement schools and replacement classroom projects will be funded partly through the WCED's infrastructure budget and partly through the Accelerated School Infrastructure Development Initiative (ASIDI) programme.

1 ACJ Phakade PS Metro East Strand
