The North West education department has handed over infrastructure projects to Ikageng schools in the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district as part of its accelerated service delivery programme – Thuntsha Lerole.
New Bright Beginnings Primary school received a clear view fence, while Nanogang Primary School now has a borehole.
Education MEC Viola Motsumi emphasised the importance of providing learners with quality education in a conducive learning environment.
“As the department of education in the North West province we will ensure that we reach out to all schools in the province through Thuntsa Lerole. We will ensure that the learning environment is conducive for learning and teaching.”
She added that fencing and access to water were essential components of a well-functioning school, directly impacting the quality of education learners receive.
“We want our children to be taught in a safe learning environment hence we have provided a clear view fence, and this security initiative is implemented in many schools across the province,” Motsumi said.
“At Nanogang primary, we have installed a borehole in order to address the shortage of water experienced at the school. All these contributions will ensure that teaching and learning takes place without any interruption.”
Last month, newly constructed toilets were unveiled at Monakato Primary School and 38 school uniforms were given to learners at Maumong and Tlapa primary schools as part of the programme.
