R95m initiative for schools
Daily News
|April 08, 2026
THE Department of Basic Education (DBE) is stepping up its fight against gender-based violence (GBV) at schools, announcing the allocation of R95 million funded by the European Union.
The funding is earmarked for a programme for schools across 20 communities in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo.
Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube detailed how the R95m will be allocated and what outcomes the department expects from the intervention, following a parliamentary question by the DA's Ciska Jordaan.
Jordaan had also raised concern about the high rate of crime incidents in schools as reported in the Quarter 3 (October to December 2025) crime statistics, published in February.
Gwarube said the EU pledged approximately R95m to a programme focused on combating GBV in and near schools. The initiative will be implemented in KZN, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo.
