The purpose of the oversight visit was to solicit views on all the relevant stakeholders, specifically teacher unions, task team and the Eastern Cape Department of Education and Basic Education on what led to the intervention and the impact of the intervention on teaching and learning. The visit formed part of the Committee's oversight responsibility to monitor and support progress in the implementation of education priorities, more specifically the expectation pronounced during the 2010 State of the Nation Address, for both learners and educators to be in school, in class, on time, learning and teaching seven hours a day. The Committee also aimed to assess the impact the intervention had in terms of the level of delivery of learner and teacher support material (LTSM), provision of school nutrition programme, provision of infrastructure, including water and sanitation and scholar transport.
