Gwarube was speaking at a media briefing in the Eastern Cape.
"While there have been no fatalities that have been reported, at least from a school level, there has been significant damage that has been caused in many schools.
"The DBE [Department of Basic Education] is supporting the province to make sure that there are no losses that are made in terms of learning and teaching."
