Makhoarane Primary school

Primary education in Randburg involves managing the daily realities of Gauteng schooling—load shedding affecting teaching hours and computer lab time, managing diverse learner needs within standard curriculum pacing, and coordinating transport for pupils across the sprawling suburb's geography. Teachers here work within NSC frameworks while adapting to infrastructure constraints and the unpredictability of power cuts that can derail online learning and assessment. The work of a primary school extends beyond classrooms: managing feeding schemes, liaising with parents juggling work schedules, handling the administrative burden of CAPS compliance and ongoing curriculum adjustments. It's the school that keeps functioning when there's load shedding and still gets the basics right—phonics, numeracy, foundational science—amid practical obstacles.
