[Youth Group] 💛🖤 This Saturday, Equalisers in Limpopo unpacked South Africa’s national budget and explored how funding decisions impact learners’ everyday school conditions.
Ahead of the 2026 MTBPS, members connected budget choices to overcrowded classrooms, poor infrastructure, unsafe toilets, and a lack of clean water.
Linking this to Equal Education’s Water and Sanitation Campaign, Equalisers developed funding demands to hold government accountable and fight for safe, dignified schools for all.

[Joint Media Statement] ✍️Release the School Capacity Norms now!
🔗: equaleducation.s3.eu-central…
Three years after a court order, the final School Capacity Norms remain unpublished. Meanwhile, learners continue to face overcrowded classrooms and inadequate learning spaces.
Equal Education and the @EElawcentre demand the immediate release of the norms, clear accountability, and urgent action to address school overcrowding.
The court order was not a suggestion. Learners cannot keep waiting for the quality education they deserve.

[Happy Pride Month] 💛🖤🏳️🌈 This month we celebrate our queer comrades learners, members and staff. Every learner deserves to feel safe and accepted at school.
To our queer comrades, you belong. You matter. You deserve joy, safety and freedom.
Until we are all free, none of us is free. #eehumans ✊🏾

[Pride Month 🏳️🌈 ] 36 years ago, Africa’s first Pride march took place in Johannesburg, with around 800 people marching to assert their human rights and challenge discrimination.
Today, South Africa’s Constitution protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation. Yet, despite these progressive protections, LGBTIQ+ people and learners continue to face stigma, prejudice, exclusion and violence in their communities, families and schools.
Pride remains as important as ever. It is an opportunity to celebrate identity, build solidarity and challenge the injustices that persist. It reminds us that the struggle for equality, dignity and inclusion is far from over. ✊🏽❤️ #PrideMonth
Everyone deserves to live, learn and love freely, without fear or discrimination. 🏳️🌈

[Post School Youth] ✊🏾Yesterday Eastern Cape had their community engagement with the EC Post School Youth from Sweetwaters and today they were at Ndevana as a build up to the Waithood Youth Action taking place on the 29th of this month.
Comrades were on the ground discussing the plight and systemic drivers of youth unemployment in South Africa, particularly in the Eastern Cape.
We are organising to break that wait! 💛🖤

[Solidarity Statement] ✊🏾 Equal Education stands with Rhodes students facing financial exclusion.
Full statement: equaleducation.org.za/?post_…
No student should be turned away, denied meals, or have certificates withheld because they cannot afford fees or historical debt.
We condemn violence against students and call on Rhodes management to engage meaningfully and find fair, sustainable solutions.
Education is a right not a privilege for those who can pay.

[Local Government Election teach ins] ✊🏾Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, you showed up!
We just wrapped Day one of our Local Government Election Teach-Ins in CPT and KZN.
From understanding what local government actually does, to why our vote and our voice beyond the ballot matters our cadres came ready to learn, debate, and organise.
Municipalities control the water we drink, the parks we play in, and the services our communities survive on. Today we broke it down who is in charge, how decisions are made, and why youth power is key for LGE 2026.
Next up is day two: Who holds the power?
ONE CADRE. ONE COMMUNITY. BUILDING POWER WHERE WE LIVE.

[Capacity Norms] Today was the deadline for the @DBE_SA, @Siviwe_G to release final capacity norms. It has not been released.
Community Leader Angel Mdluli,Gauteng: "When we talk about capacity norms we don't talk about something on paper we talk about real learners and real conditions. Overcrowding must end."
We demand the norms NOW!
#NoSpaceForUs #FixOurSchools
[Local Government Election teach ins]💛🖤 Yesterday we wrapped up our Teach-Ins in Gauteng, Limpopo and Eastern Cape!
Our cadres took on Understanding Power, Politics and Accountability in Local Government and named the truth, Municipal dysfunction is NOT just technical. It is a POLITICAL choice.
Who gets to deliver our water, parks and infrastructure? Who do ward councillors really represent vs PR councillors? And who decides which communities get left behind?
We debated who is responsible, compared councillors, and built vision boards of the just municipalities we deserve.
The message is clear! Our power does NOT end at the ballot. We must organise, question political choices, and demand accountability where we live.
Tomorrow we kick start Day one in Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal! ✊🏾
ONE CADRE. ONE COMMUNITY. BUILDING POWER WHERE WE LIVE.

[Capacity Norms] 💛🖤 Our Equalisers break down the daily struggles they face in overcrowded classrooms and the lack of infrastructure in their schools, and they are sending a message to the Minister of Education @Siviwe_G as we count down to 1 October, when the new Capacity Norms will be released.
They also reflect on what learning could look like if the Capacity Norms were changed for the better.
Overcrowding is not normal. Every learner deserves a safe, spacious classroom that enables dignified learning.
