MEDIA STATEMENT

MEC Motsumi insists that learners should be given their report cards

The North West Department of Education has noted with serious concern, the denial of issuing report cards of some learners.

Currently, schools across the province are in the process of issuing reports to learners. In some schools, learners have been denied report cards due to various reasons involving outstanding fees they owe to the school.

The MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi, strongly condemned those schools that deny learners report cards.

“I have received numerous calls from parents and learners across the province who complain about learners being denied their report cards. This action is highly unacceptable, and those school principals should desist from doing so. Every year at this time, I continue to repeat the same message that learners should be given their report cards,” said MEC Motsumi.

MEC Motsumi further emphasised that schools should deal with parents, not learners, to ensure that they recover any outstanding money. She further said that parents need to fulfill the commitments they make to schools.

End.
