Education is a fundamental human right.
Every child is entitled to it. It is critical to our development as individuals and as a society.
Every year we celebrate our successes at schools despite the Julius Malema Economic Freedom March, school disruptions, local elections and the announcement of new syllabus by Minister of Basic Education.
We have problems like overcrowding in classes, a shortage of stationery, no proper exam structure. The hope, the struggle and the hard work are all towards a goal. Success is part of the rewards. Achieving a goal itself is not the whole reward.
We salute all 2011 matriculants.
