11 May - Human Rights - Equal Education continues their quest for school libraries

In today's show, we spoke to Joey Hasson - from Equal Education. Equal Education is a community advocacy organisation that works with school educators and learners in communities as well as academics and activists to address inequality in South Africa's public education system. Since yesterday, Equal Education and its learner members are holding a series of pickets in the form of ‘Read-Ins’ in front Parliament. They say these ‘Read-Ins’ will remind the government of the desperate need for learners to have a safe places close to home to study, do homework and read for pleasure. Joey explained more.
