MPWC INSPIRES GRADE 12 LEARNERS AHEAD OF FINAL EXAMINATIONS
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Multi-Party Women’s Caucus (MPWC), led by Chairperson, Hon. Dr Nomathemba Mokgethi, attended a Candlelight Ceremony at Sapphire Secondary School in Extension 4, Bophelong in Sedibeng, to encourage and inspire Grade 12 learners as they prepare for their final examinations.
The ceremony provided an opportunity to motivate learners to remain focused, disciplined and determined as they approach this important milestone in their academic journey. The MPWC’s participation reaffirmed its commitment to supporting education, empowering young people and encouraging learners, particularly young women, to pursue their aspirations with confidence.
Through its engagement with the learners, the MPWC sought to reinforce the importance of perseverance, self-belief and resilience in overcoming academic and personal challenges. The Caucus recognises that the final examinations represent a significant step towards further education, skills development and future career opportunities.
The MPWC encourages all Grade 12 learners to approach their examinations with confidence, make effective use of their remaining study time and remain committed to achieving their academic goals. Learners are also encouraged to seek guidance and support from their teachers, parents and communities throughout the examination period.
The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Multi-Party Women’s Caucus remains
committed to initiatives that promote education, youth development, gender equality
and the empowerment of future generations.
