In an effort to boost matriculation results, MEC Viola Ntsetsao Motsumi, re-appointed for a second term as the Executive Council of the North West Department of Education, will meet with the principals of all underperforming schools in the province. MEC Motsumi has emphasized a zero-tolerance policy for schools performing below a 70% average this academic year.
The primary objective of this meeting is to address the challenges faced by schools with a pass rate of less than 70% in the 2023 academic year. Motsumi will engage with school principals and the senior management team of the department to discuss and resolve any concerns.
Motsumi calls on all educational stakeholders to uphold the top three visions set for the previous matric performance.
I courteously implore all of our educational stakeholders to join forces with the department to achieve our goal of being among the top three.
The province has 74 schools that underperformed in the 2023 academic year.
