Coselelani Secondary School

Teaching and learning in Gqeberha's secondary schools involves navigating real constraints that shape how schools operate. Load shedding disrupts examination schedules and practical lab work. Transport challenges mean many learners travel considerable distances on congested routes, affecting punctuality and attendance. Water outages impact basic sanitation and catering. Within these realities, Coselelani Secondary School manages the day-to-day business of getting learners through the NSC curriculum, organising sports days and cultural activities despite infrastructure limitations, and keeping staff and learners engaged when external systems falter. Schools here develop particular resilience—they become hubs where education continues despite setbacks, where teachers adapt lesson plans to load shedding schedules, and where learners learn as much from overcoming obstacles as from textbooks.
