Presentation on the eradication of mud schools: This programme is responsible for assisting the Department of Education with the eradication of mud and unsafe structures on a project basis as allocated to the Department of Public Works by the Department of Education. The schools built by the Department of Public Works are EPWP compliant. Challenges faced by the DPW are delays in payment from the client departments, budget constraints, insufficient resources, late submission of project list, delays in electricity connection and delays due to weather conditions.
