Ace goes back to school Premier visits local school to motivate learners, teachers

} Sidwell Guduka “WHO is that new learner sitting in the classroom and why is he not wearing a school uniform? “He is not a new learner – he is the premier of the Free State!” The children at the Bainsvlei Combined School in Bainsvlei, outside Bloemfontein, were surprised to see that Premier Ace Magashule had joined them for lessons when the school re-opened last Wednesday. The premier, who was accompanied by officials from his office, visited the school to motivate teachers and learners to excel in their studies. He interacted with both the teachers and learners during his visit. “Our visit to this school is to motivate the teachers and learners, and to say well done to the matric class of 2014. “We are also here to encourage the class of 2015 and the rest of the learners to work hard this year. They must know that nothing beats hard work,” Magashule told reporters. “This school is doing very well. I’m impressed with the work that is being done by the principal and his team. In 2009, Bainsvlei achieved a mere 14% matric pass rate, but they keep improving. The school obtained a 100% pass rate in both 2011 and 2013. “It shows that the teachers and principal are doing a great job. They deserve a pat on the back,” he said. The school achieved an 80%, 93% and 98% matric pass rate in 2010, 2012 and 2014 respectively. Tau Seheri, the principal of the Bainsvlei Combined School, expressed his delight with Magashule’s visit. “We appreciate the premier’s visit to our school. It really means a lot to both the teachers and learners. He was just here to motivate us to work hard and we appreciate that,” Seheri said. The majority of the learners at Bainsvlei come from surrounding farms, but a lot more children from the townships have been enrolled at the school of late. ) For more stories, visit www.expressnews.co.za.
