Expert on curbing school dropout rate
Updated | By Zongile Mthimkhulu

"[It requires] Mobilisation of funds to actually make sure that access to education becomes affordable or even free.
Not just free education but free quality education. It should not be for the selected few," she said.
A recent Institute of Race Relations report suggests nearly half of all children enrolled in Grade 1 do not reach matric.
