An awards ceremony, dedicated to honouring the Matric Class of 2022, has recognised and awarded no less than 37 learners from schools across the Ramotshere Moiloa Sub-District for their academic achievements, as part of a Matric Excellence programme.

The programme, which is funded by Zeerust Solar in partnership with the Department of Education, aims to stimulate and honour the academic achievements of matriculants in schools across the Sub-District and motivate future matriculants to strive for excellence and to pursue their studies further at tertiary institutions. It also recognises the efforts of teachers and parents and creates healthy competition as a driver for change.

“We are proud to honour the academic excellence of the Matric Class of 2022 through the Matric Excellence Programme. The programme is a testament to our commitment to education and our belief in the power of recognition,” said Tshepo Kgoloane, Community Operations Manager for Zeerust Solar. “Our hope is that this programme will motivate and inspire the learners in these communities to achieve their full potential and pursue their dreams.”

During the recent event, the top-performing learners from all communities in the Sub-District presented with laptops, tablets and certificates. The learners were awarded for top achievements per listed subjects and overall best performance. A total of 20 laptops and 21 tablets were donated for the awards.
