The ANC Ekurhuleni caucus wishes the class of 2019 the best in their final examinations.<\/p>\n

Chief whip Clr Jongizizwe Dlabathi encouraged the learners to do well and to continue to work hard because education is their only gateway to bigger things.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe encourage learners to focus because every minute, every hour and every day is important for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must not despair and seize the opportunity by passing their matric,\u201d Dlabathi said.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

He also advised learners to consider making the country\u2019s TVET colleges their preferred choice of institution for training and studying.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa needs skills, such as engineering, boilermaking, construction and other technical skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cTVET colleges offer many different courses and all other training that is required to develop the country\u2019s economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage our learners to equally consider TVET colleges to gain the necessary skills to attain employment or to start their own businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as part of caucus\u2019 community outreach programme, the office of the chief whip adopted Tlakula High School in KwaThema in 2017.<\/p>\n

The purpose is to assist the school through academic support to improve its matric performance in mathematics, science and accounting.<\/p>\n

They will take 172 Grade 11 learners to Ekurhuleni East College (KwaThema Campus) as part of an educational tour to expose them to the technical and vocational skills training offered by the institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly believe by ensuring more young people are educated and have acquired necessary skills that they will benefit the municipality and their families through the knowledge and skills they have learnt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would then be empowered,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
