A commitment was made for the EFF to “adopt” Steynville Primary and to continue to attract support from various stakeholders to ensure educational development in the community of Hopetown.
Tlhaole thanked the school management for allowing them the opportunity to deliver on their commitment to promoting education.
Tlhaole noted the EFF mandate that no child should ever be denied an education because of material conditions or poverty.
“As the EFF, we believe that Steynville Primary will produce future leaders, scientists, engineers and more learners that will bring development in Hopetown, the region and the Province at large,” said Tlhaole.
“We continue to encourage our teachers to be patient and teach our learners, regardless of the fact that they work under extreme conditions and pressure, like where they are not being paid accordingly.
“They must think about the future and end poverty through education.”
