Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Mimmy Gondwe, will lead a Matric Support Programme at schools in the Cape Winelands District on Monday and Tuesday.
The Matric Support Programme seeks to bridge the gap between Basic Education and Higher Education for matriculants. The programme assists matric learners in accessing information about higher education, including available study opportunities and funding options, before they move into the Post-School Education and Training (PSET) sector.
Gondwe will visit Vusisizwe High School on Monday and Zwelethemba High School on Tuesday, according to the Department of Higher Education and Training.
This marks the programme's first visit to the Western Cape province following successful visits in the Eastern Cape and Northern Cape.
The visit to the two schools is planned in partnership with the Western Cape Education Department, with support from the Services SETA, FP&M SETA, Khetha – Career Development Services, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), the National Skills Fund (NSF), and Old Mutual.
All partner organisations will share key information with learners about youth training, development opportunities, access, and funding for the higher education sector. - SAnews.gov.za
