With only 24 days to the year-end examinations, the North West Department of Education has successfully launched its Last Push campaign at MM Sebitloane Special School on Friday, 27 September 2024.

The last push campaign is aimed at assisting Grade 12 learners as they prepare for their final exams.

A total of 301 learners attended the last push campaign launch along with other education stakeholders including faith-based organizations and the local chief, who showed their support for the learners and emphasised the importance of education in community upliftment.

MEC for Education in the North West province, Viola Motsumi, expressed her pride in the campaign’s success.

“The launch of the Last Push campaign marks a critical point in our efforts to ensure that no learner is left behind. We are pleased with the enthusiasm shown by the learners, and I am confident that this program will help them bridge any remaining knowledge gaps as they prepare for their final exams. The support from the community and stakeholders further reinforces our shared goal of seeing our learners excel and reach their full potential as the Department thrives to obtain 86-90% come results announcements”, says Motsumi.

The Last Push program is part of the Department’s broader initiative to ensure all learners in the province are fully prepared for their upcoming examinations. This launch coincides with the conclusion of the spring camps held across the province where learners are engaged in intensive revision activities to close any remaining content gaps.

The Department of Education remains committed to providing the necessary resources and support to ensure that all learners are well-equipped for their exams, and the Last Push program is a testament to these efforts.
