Photos | The first day of the inland schooling calendar saw newly-refurbished Setlabotjha Primary School in Emfuleni, south of Gauteng, welcoming learners for the 2022 academic year on Wednesday
Gauteng Premier David Makhura and Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi unveiled that state-of-the-art school under strict Covid-19 restrictions.
“We have been building beautiful schools in the townships, but there is this mentality that the township is bad and that former model C schools are good. The reality is that all our teachers are trained from the same pot, and I’m proud of the quality of teachers we have in this school,” Lesufi said. “It is a demonstration that our teachers are putting our children first and are ready to protect our children,” he said.Covid-19 regulations were observed at Setlabotjha Primary School as it reopened for the 2022 academic year.
