This plan in-cludes measures to en-hance the quality of edu-cation at some schoolsandtotransfer learnerstoschools that are better equipped to provide a quality edu-cation.“Any decision that I have made has been made with

restraint andhas been informedand is ultimately guidedby what is in the best interests of the learners.“Having carefully considered each and every repre-

sentation made, I have decided to close 20 schools.”Sixteen are in rural areas and four are in urban dis-

tricts. Fifteenof the schools (75%)are small farmschools,with learner enrolment ranging from seven to 87 learn-ers, with an average of 41.The learners attendmultigrade classes, with children

in several grades in the same class.The department plans to place the learners in schools

that provide better access to single-grade classes, better

facilities, extramural activities and team sports, and toschools that achieve better literacy and numeracy re-sults.For example, atLKZeemanPrimary, learnernumbers

have dropped to 217. These learners can now attend Am-stelhof Primary, which is a mere 700 m away.Bergrivier Primary’s learners and their two perma-

schools that will close, not to stress or to worry aboutenrolment for the 2013 school year.The WCED will inform their school of the plans we

have in place to accommodate their children,” says Don-ald.

Kyk skerp om blindheid te voorkomDAAR is ’n beraamde 1,4 mil-joen blinde kinders in die wê-reld en een uit elke vyf vanhulle woon in Afrika suid vandie Sahara.Die helfte van hierdie blinde

kinders sou kon sien as hulletoegang tot behoorlike oogsorggehad het. Dit is hierdie feit watdie internasionale nie-winsge-wende organisasie ORBIS seveldtog om sig te red, motiveer.Vir kinders is tydsbereke-

ning deurslaggewend. PrasidhRamson, programbestuurdervan ORBIS Afrika, verduidelikdat kinders se sig tot op die ouderdomvan ses jaar steedsontwikkel.

opgemerk wanneer hulle metskool begin en in sommige gevallekan dit dalk te laat wees.”Omouers en versorgers te help,

het ORBIS ’n kontrolelys saamge-stel ommoontlike oogprobleme opte merk en gou op te tree. Dit sluitin:

lik deur chirurgie reggestel kan word.”)Herhaaldelike infeksie. “Pofferige oë, rooiheid, oor-

matige waterigheid of afskeiding is tekens om op die uit-kyk voor te wees.” Onmiddellike mediese aandag wordvereis totdat die probleme opgelos is.

Paarl thrashed neighbours in first Time Cricket matchTHE first cricket team of Paarl CricketClub got off to a great start in the firstseries of Boland’s Time Cricket competi-tion, when they thrashed Paarl East by113 runs at the Parys grounds on Satur-day.

After winning the toss, the home team ca-me away with 20 match points, when theyposted 198/9 in their allotted 65 overs and

needed only 38 overs to dismiss the oppositi-on for a paltry 85.

Solid contributions came from DarrylHendricks (34), Godfrey Stevens (34), RiaanNieuwoudt (35), Lynal Jansen (27) and Grae-me Adams (23), while leg spinner WayneMinnies (6/76) bowled an impressive 22overs to keep the home team in check.

Hendricks (5x4) started like a house on fi-re, hitting two boun-daries in the ope-ning over, but beca-me Minnies’ firstvictim, caught be-hind when attemp-ting to cut. Nieu-woudt also reached

the boundary on five occasions, whileAdams hit the only six.

For the visitors, Llewellyn Sedgwick (19)fought a lone battle against the accuratePaarl bowling attack.

Rabian Engelbrecht showed why he wasrated the fastestbowlerat the2011u.19WorldCup in New Zealand, with the Paarl East toporder clearly being out of their depth againsthis devastating pace.

Hisaccurate lineand lengthbuilt thepres-sure, to create the opportunity for debutantKeegan van Aarde (3/6 in 3 overs) to wrapup the match, after the damage was done byspinners Jansen (4/14) and Stevens (3/29).

Paarl’s second XI crashed to their first de-feat in Vredenburg, after misreading the

conditions.In the other match at the Parys grounds,

Paarl’s 3rd XI scored an impressive 47 runwin over Paarl East in a 40 over match.

Burton Francis (83) showed that his ta-lents stretch further than the No. 10 jerseyin the Super Rugby competition, hitting se-ven sixes and four boundaries from 68 balls.

He was well supported by captain CarloCrotz (59)with five boundaries in his patientknock, to lay the foundation for a total of202/7 with their 128 run partnership for thefourth wicket. Paarl East was dismissed for155, after fine bowling by Elton Du Plessis(4/36)andJustinAlbertus (3/28).VeteranJa-ques Daniels (74) was the only visiting bats-man to offer substantial resistance.
