The Eastern Cape Executive Council (EXCO) members, led by Premier Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane, will join forces with Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers on a week-long Back-to-School Outreach Programme across the province.
The provincial Back-to-School Outreach Programme is an annual campaign, designed to ensure all learners have opportunities to become productive, responsible and competitive citizens, through an inclusive quality basic education system.
The initiative aims to promote education, support learners, and engage with local communities.
It also seeks to mobilise community and stakeholder support, recognising education as a societal matter.
“Building on previous successes, where school visits led to improved teaching and learning outcomes, this campaign will see EXCO members, Ministers and Deputy Ministers interact with learners, teachers and parents.
“They will provide support through the donation of educational materials, infrastructure development and mentorship programmes. The delegation will also engage with local communities, listening to concerns and suggestions on improving education,” the Eastern Cape Provincial Government said in a statement.
The outreach programme is scheduled to take place from 21 - 24 January 2025. – SAnews.gov.za
