The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is criticizing the provincial government's 82% budget cut to Schools of Specialization, which they say will hinder learners' chances of gaining skilled jobs. The funding for these schools has been slashed from R69.29 million in 2022 to R13 million in 2024. The DA says this cut will negatively impact the development of critical skills needed for the economy and challenges the government's claim of empowering youth through these schools.
