15 January 2025 – The Northern Cape Premier, Zamani Saul, extends his best wishes to all learners, teachers, School Governing Bodies (SGBs), and communities as they embark on the 2025 academic year. Saul emphasizes that education is a societal responsibility that requires collective effort.
According to Saul’s spokesperson, Naledi Gaosekwe, the Premier will kick off the Northern Cape Provincial Government (NCPG) Back-to-School campaign. As part of this initiative, Saul will visit Khiba Secondary School in Gamopedi, located in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District. He will be accompanied by the District Mayor, Queen Mogatle-Thaone.
“The Northern Cape Provincial Government’s Back-to-School Campaign aims to ensure that all teachers and learners arrive in class on time and begin their learning activities on the first day of school. Through this campaign, the government will confirm that everything is in place for the academic year,” said Gaosekwe.
She further noted that Saul’s government is committed to collaborating with its social partners to invest in initiatives that enhance access to quality basic education. This includes upgrades to school facilities, the construction of new schools, the expansion of modern digital learning opportunities, and the provision of additional resources for students in need.
Additionally, Saul encourages those who faced challenges in the previous year to take advantage of all opportunities provided by the government for a second chance.
