An in-depth look into the education crisis following dismal results from the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) Report of 2016. The PIRLS report was published in the first week of December 2017, and it indicated that almost 80% of Grade 4 school learners cannot read with comprehension. South Africa was also placed last out of 50 countries. Our guests were Tshepo Motsepe from Equal Education, and Harriet Leisegang - an Educational Psychologist.
