Making schools count

The recently published Junior Certificate Examination results show that there is a perfect exchange of baton between kindergarten, primary and secondary schools.

Selebi-Phikwe secondary schools are clearly building on the rock solid base laid at the foundation level. Elsewhere, this harmony between the foundation and secondary levels is conspicuously absent. It is not uncommon in other parts of the country to see a trend where secondary schools literally ‘drop the baton’ by failing students who otherwise achieved good grades at the foundation.
