Eastern Cape premier, Oscar Mabuyane, together with Education MEC, Fundile Gade, officially handed over the newly-constructed Tyali Senior Secondary School in KwaMaxhama Village in Centane, under the Mnquma Local Municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multi-million-rand state-of-the-art school was officially handed over on April 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school boasts amenities such as three multi-purpose centres, three science laboratories, six dining and nutrition centres, computer rooms, three libraries, 14 classrooms and media centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly-built school further boasts essential infrastructure, such as electricity, fencing, and water tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mabuyane said that the handing over of the school was a demonstration of government\u2019s commitment to address infrastructure backlogs in the education sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Centane alone, government has built three modern schools in the last five years, including Tyali Senior Secondary School. The other two are Cebe Junior Secondary School, built to the tune of R59 million, and Krazukile Senior Secondary School, built to the tune of R52 million,\u201d Mabuyane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that government was not only focusing on school buildings, but also improving the quality of learners\u2019 results, especially in mathematics and physical sciences subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJobs of the future demand students who excel in these two subjects. That is why government is working tirelessly to ensure that students from the Eastern Cape excel in mathematics and physics. We are preparing a bright future for them,\u201d said Mabuyane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his State of the Province Address in February, Mabuyane said that government had built almost 100 schools across the province since the sixth administration came into office in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyali SSS principal, Phakamisa Swelindawo, said that the school and the community were elated that the government had finally built them a modern school, after the use of mud structures for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe school was started by parents in 1982 and initially offered classes from a local clinic before parents dug deep into their pockets and built a three-room mud structure block, and other additional classrooms were built by parents over the years,\u201d said Swelindawo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mabuyane said he was also pleased by the number of job opportunities and business opportunities for local business owners during the construction of the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is more pleasing is that the construction of the school afforded small scale contractors an opportunity to display their skills. That created 84 job opportunities and local business owners benefited as well,\u201d Mabuyane said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He concluded by appealing to the communities around the school to jealously guard it against vandalism for future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
