Advocacy groups have welcomed a new court order compelling the department of basic education to provide pupils with meals even when schools are closed due to the pandemic.

In a joint statement this week, Equal Education and Section27 said the high court order was a victory for pupils.

“The high court has ordered the department of basic education and provincial education departments to develop new plans to feed the over nine million learners that depend on the national school nutrition programme , even when schools are closed because of Covid-19 or learners are at home because of rotating timetables.

“This court order is a victory for learners’ rights to basic nutrition, basic education, equality and dignity. We are hopeful that the new plans that the DBE and provincial education departments have been ordered to develop to improve the rollout of the NSNP can guarantee that it reaches every single learner who qualifies for it.”EE and two Limpopo school governing bodies, represented by Section27 and the Equal Education Law Centre, went back to court over the failure of the DBE and eight MECs across the country to provide pupils with meals.
