By Dk news reportor

MILLIONS of pupils are expected to flock back to schools on Wednesday morning as the 2024 school year commences.

The Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga paid a visit to several schools in the Madibeng area this morning starting at the Hebron Technical High school.

Basic Education spokesperson, Elijah Mhlanga said the minister will end her visit to the Madibeng area by engaging with education stakeholders at the Letlhabile Community Hall to hear about educational successes and challenges in the area.

On Tuesday, Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi said the department would be welcoming over 133 000 children starting school for the first-time.

The department has been facing a major problem in placing the high number of pupils that have not been placed for the 2018 academic year.
According to Lesufi, at least 28 000 pupils are still waiting to be placed in various Gauteng schools
