Minister Radebe to visit Portia Shabangu Secondary School as part of Government
back to school programme
The Minister in the
Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation and Chairperson of the
National Planning Commission (NPC) Jeff Radebe, MP, will visit Portia Shabangu
Secondary School, in Mpumalanga as part of government back to school programme.
The objective of the
FSDM visit is to motivate and encourage learners in 2018 academic year,
especially those in matric to focus on their studies and emphasize the
importance of education in uplifting our society with the knowledge that
government is behind them and wishes them all the success in attaining their
goals.
Education is identified
as one of the key elements in creating a better and more prosperous South
Africa by 2030. It is also the first priority outcome in the current Medium
Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2014 – 2019 Since 1994. Implementing the NDP
requires a multi-sectorial collaboration between all sections of society and
effective leadership.
The NDP further
envisions a South Africa where everyone has access to education of the highest
quality, leading to significantly improved outcomes and a prosperous life.
The visit also seeks to
send a clear message that South Africa is serious about education and that it
is at the apex of government priorities.
All media are invited
