Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane has committed to rebuilding Alrapark Primary School within 18 months.
This comes after community protests over ageing school infrastructure last week.
The school is 85 and the classrooms are dilapidated.

In 2023, the Gauteng education department brought in mobile classrooms; however, there were calls for a more permanent solution.
On Monday, Chiloane met with the school’s infrastructure crisis committee and promised to demolish and give the learners a new school.
“These ones have deteriorated very quickly, and they have become very dangerous for our children. I’ve committed a timeline that within the next 18 months, they should be having their kids in a new school. Fortunately, the school was part of the roster of new schools, we just had to reorganise to make sure this one takes priority because of the urgency.”
