“This follows a video clip of another learner in the same school‚ who transgressed the code of conduct‚ by using foul language and promoting engagement in sexual activities. The said learner has already appeared before a disciplinary committee and was subsequently suspended for five days‚” said Mabona.
TimesLIVE is aware of the name of the school‚ but has chosen not to publish it for fear of identifying the children involved.
Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said the school is one of the best performing schools in the province‚ producing 100% passes in maths and science.
“Schools are institutions of teaching and learning‚ and should be treated as such‚” he said.
Lesufi called on parents to help the department with learner discipline in and outside the schools.
