THE MADIKWE EDUCATION cluster in the North West province makes its mark by producing the best matric results for matric. Motlhaputseng High School in Tlokweng went above 90 percent by passing with 91.9 percent, followed by Vrede village high school which is Reipuseng with 86.7 percent, Morare (in Pella) with 82.4 percent and Sewagodimo(in Pella) with 82.8 percent.

Other Tlokweng schools that did better are Gabonewe with 80 percent and Kgosibodibe with 69.4 percent. The School Governing Bodies (SGBs), parents and the community have been inspired by the performance of the Class of 2022.

“We would to thank the teachers for their efforts, producing such results is not a walk in the park. We also like to thank the learners for being patient and working hard to pass their matric,” said one of the parents.

He said this should encourage the class of 2023, matric ga se matrase (meaning matric is not easy).

THE NORTH WEST Education MEC Viola Ntsetsao Motsumi condemned the disruption of education during the school opening by protestors in  Welbedatcht. Residents were protesting against the poor service delivery by the local municipality.

“I am taking this time to condemn the disruption of learning and teaching in Welbedatcht. I just cannot understand how adults can go to school and prevent learners from getting an education.

“Learners are the future of this country and they should be given a chance to get an education. The constitutions of this country emphasise that every child has the right to education, clearly, those who are behind this are violating their right to education,” said Motsumi.

*MEANWHILE THE MEC presented the Platinum Province’s Class of 2022 matric results on the 20 January. The province obtained a 79.8 percent pass rate improving by 1.6 percent from 2021 results.
