THE MEC for Education in Kwa-Zulu Natal, Mbali Frazer, has hailed the 2022 matric top achievers from uThukela for flying the district’s flag high.
She was speaking during the 2022 Matric Excellence Awards ceremony hosted by the Okhahlamba Local Municipality, in Bergville.
Speakers at the event reflected on the journey of educators, learners and all stakeholders who played a role in improving the results for the 2022 academic year.
“The outcome of 2022 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination was also as a result of the great support our learners received from their educators and parents,” said Frazer.
Frazer also expressed her concerns with some schools which have been continuously underperforming in the NSC examinations.
She told a packed hall that necessary interventions will be implemented in these schools to help them to improve their pass rate.
“These will include providing academic support and resources for relevant learning areas. We will also be strengthening accountability in the affected schools because we want those responsible to know that poor performance will never be tolerated,” said Frazer.Â
Frazer further encouraged all the learners who obtained their matric certificates to further their studies. She cautioned them about distractions saying when they get to institutions of higher learning, they must always remember the reason why they went there in the first place. Â
The event concluded with awards being handed to former learners for their oustanding performance in various catergories.
The event tool place at the Okhahlamba Sports Complex.
