Phikwe private schools still awaiting P11 million

The P11 million school fees was one of the key actions under the Economic Revitalisation Strategy that government approved in the last quarter of last yea, as an immediate intervention to continue paying school fees for children of former BCL employees for 2017. The office of the coordinator of the revitalisation programme, the district commissioner and the Ministry of Basic Education were tasked with working out details to implement the decision.

Mount Pleasant School is carrying close to 100 students that are supposed to be paid for by government while there are 86 at Kopano School. The schools say they can only sustain themselves only up to the end of this term. They have submitted all that was required by government.
