Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube and the Minister of Home Affairs, Dr Leon Schreiber, are today holding community engagements in the Stellenbosch area in the Western Cape, with a specific focus on Cloetesville.
As part of the programme, the Ministers will jointly hand over Identity Documents to matric learners at Cloetesville High School and donate laptops to teachers who are teaching STEM subjects at the school.
“This initiative forms part of government’s ongoing efforts to ensure that all learners are properly documented, enabling them to fully participate in the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations and access opportunities beyond school,” the Department of Basic Education said in a statement.
“Ensuring that matriculants have the necessary identification is a critical step in safeguarding their future prospects, including access to higher education, employment and other essential services.
“The handover of ID documents and launching of the Bank Branch is part of Home Affairs’ efforts to “bring home affairs to your door,” the department said. – SAnews.gov.za
