The Mpumalanga Department of Education has already delivered all the Leaning and Teaching Support Material (LTSM) to schools within the province. This learning and teaching support material will be used in the 2015 school year and is delivered based on the number of learners per school per grade that each school submitted to the department through Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) and  South African School Administration and Management System (SA-SAMS).

The department allocated R173 million for delivery of the core LTSM for 2015 i.e. Stationery and Grade 12 Folklore.

The Learner Teacher Support Material deliveries started from 07 to 26 November 2014 to ensure that schools are able to prepare and plan properly on time so that teaching and learning may start without hassles on the first day of re-opening (i.e.  14 January 2015).

Schools are expected to give feedback on the deliveries and to indicate instances where there are shortages before schools close on 10 December 2014.

All learners must receive this material on time and at no stage should a learner be deprived stationery even if his or her parents have not met some school obligations.
