The Minister for the Department of Basic Education, Ms. Angie Motshega invited all nine education provinces under one roof to give an update on the state of readiness on the implementation of the Three Streams Model and the challenges met by each province during the process.
The Minister was joined by the Deputy Minister, Dr Reginah Mhaule and Director General, Mr Mathanzima Mweli. The National Team emphasised the fact that the workshop should come up with resolutions that will change the education system and ensure its visibility in providing quality services regularly.

They also made a clarion call to provinces to lay a solid foundation for the young ones to get job opportunities through the sector. The workshop took place from 06- 07 June 2024 at Birchwood Hotel and OR Tambo Conference Centre.

The North-West Department of Education formed part of the workshop to make a presentation (made by Dr Motsusi) on the progress made and the grey areas identified throughout the implementation process of the Three Streams Model namely: Academic, Vocational and Occupational Streams. The focus was on the implementation of Vocational Stream and lessons learned for implementing the Occupational Stream.

The North West team was led by the Acting Superintendent General, Mr Maropene Seshibe who was accompanied by Director Generals, Mr Prince Masilo, Dr Shadrack Mvula and Mr Buti Chuma. He was also joined by the Directors, Dr Thabo Phorabatho, Ms Masego Senna, Dr C. Mojafi, Dr Peter Paul Kgatitsoe, Acting Directors, Mr Godfrey Seatle and Ms Lucy Tong as well as Dr Motsusi(CES) and other identified depratmental officials.

Some of the objectives of the workshop were to get the state of readiness on the implementation of the Three Streams Model and to share lessons learned on the implementation process as well as afford key role players the opportunity to make contributions in planning the implementation of the model, going forward.

The work shop came up with tangible resolutions to inform the better implementation process, to give more young people the space to go to Occupational and Vocational Streams.

Part of the resolutions was that all provinces should hold similar workshops and strengthen stakeholder relationships and ensure massive advocacy campaigns.

Minister Motshekga further cautioned all provinces to keep the Three streams Model product ready for the purposes of handover to the seventh administration, in the near future.
