President Cyril Ramaphosa told parents in the Eastern Cape that they should not accept excuses when their children wanted to drop out of school.
Butterworth - President Cyril Ramaphosa told parents in the Eastern Cape on Friday that they should not accept excuses when their children wanted to drop out of school.
He said that during his ANC door-to-door campaigning for the May 8 general election, he had encountered many young people who dropped out of school because they had "issues" with teachers. "We want to reduce school dropouts and we are opening technical schools to equip learners with job market related skills," said Ramaphosa.The Eastern Cape was once "the reservoir of education" in the country's history, he said.
"We want to fix things at the national level, provincial level and in our municipalities. [We are doing this through] the works of various commissions of inquiry, like the state capture commission which you've seen on TV.
