Former Higher Education director-general, Mary Metcalfe has been appointed to evaluate text-book deliveries to schools in Limpopo.

The provincial basic education department says Metcalfe will assist with the verification of information that the department has with regard to the distribution of learning material to learners in grades one, two, three and 10 in the province.

Some pupils have been without textbooks for the past six months, after the department failed to procure books on time.

The department says it had also set up a call centre to enable the public to report cases in which schools had not received books.
