The Third School Term is a defining phase in our academic programme
The MEC for Education, Ms Lindi Masina, warmly welcomes teachers, School Management Teams (SMTs), School Governing Bodies (SGBs), educator unions, education support staff, parents and learners across Mpumalanga as schools reopen following a well-deserved winter recess.
The Third School Term is one of the most critical periods in the academic calendar.
It is a term that demands renewed focus, collective commitment and purposeful action to advance learner achievement, strengthen the quality of teaching and learning, and accelerate progress towards the province's educational goals.
With only 46 actual school days, every minute of teaching and learning must be protected and utilised effectively.
This limited time presents an opportunity for schools to intensify curriculum delivery, close learning gaps and prepare learners thoroughly for the final assessments and National Senior Certificate examinations in the Fourth School Term.
"The Third School Term is a defining phase in our academic programme.
It is during this period that we consolidate the gains made during the first half of the year and intensify our efforts to ensure that every learner, particularly the Class of 2026, is academically prepared, emotionally supported and equipped to excel in the final examinations,"
The MEC further called upon communities and all education stakeholders to recommit themselves to advance learning and teaching in every school.
"Together, let us safeguard teaching and learning time, make every school day count and work collectively to ensure that no learner is left behind.
Through unity of purpose, we can continue to build a resilient education system that empowers every child to realise their full potential."
MEC Masina further wished every school community a productive, safe and successful Third School Term.
