# Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube says many schools do not have the resources needed to roll out coding and robotics as subjects. She says the Department of Basic Education will not make coding and robotics a mandatory subject in schools. The department issued its Annual Performance Plan for the 2025/2026 financial year. According to the plan, the rollout of the subjects must be realised in line with the available resources and readiness of the school system.
