# The UDM has criticised the donation of foldable school desks to learners in rural Eastern Cape calling it a national embarassment. Acting secretary-general, Zandile Phiri, says the desks are seen as corporate branding instead of real education support. Phiri argues that children deserve proper classroom desks, and not impractical burdens. The party demands government action to ensure all learners have dignified school furniture.
