Meepong got eight As, 58 Bs, 57 Cs, 38 Ds, 3 Es while Makhubu got one merit, 23 As, 93 Bs and 72Cs.  Mokgosi told the two schools not to be complacent and the competition that exists between them is welcome.He encouraged them not to hide information from each other.  He said discussions are ongoing to introduce awards for those who excel in Form Three and Standard Seven examinations. He pointed out that since the government is on course to diversify the economy of the region, education could play an important role in the process. Mokgosi urged the management of the region to come up with a vision aimed at sustaining the performance of the schools.
