HLANGALEZWE PRIMARY SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENT TAKES CENTRE STAGE

The MEC for Education, Ms. Cathy Dlamini conducted an oversight visit to Hlangalezwe Primary School in Lehukwe Circuit in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, Bohlabela District. The MEC was accompanied by the Executive Mayor of Bushbuckridge, Cllr Lydia Moroane.

The oversight visit was part of the EXCO Outreach and Premier Imbizo schedule for this week and it intended to assess the current state of the school’s infrastructure and to reaffirm the commitment to its urgent improvement.

Hlangalezwe Primary School currently operates with five mobile classrooms, four permanent brick-and-mortar classrooms, a kitchen, has a combination of both enviroloo and waterborne ablution facilities offering and a total of 360 learners. The visit highlighted the urgent need for improved infrastructure to ensure a safe, and conducive environment for learning and teaching.

"We have a responsibility to create an environment where both learners, teachers and non-teaching staff feel valued and supported. Every teacher deserves to work in a school that is safe, well-built and inspiring just as every child deserves a learning space that motivates and encourages them to reach their full potential.

The Department will fast track the implementation of the infrastructure improvement plan of this school to be completed before the end of this financial year. This is more than a promise, it is our duty." The MEC further emphasized that doing so will be to restore dignity of everyone in this school, teachers, non-teaching staff and learners.

A nation at work for all!
