MTN connects with JJ Masipa School

MTN is making a difference at JJ Masipa Technical Occupational School in Ratanda.

The mobile operator recently entered into a collaboration with the skills development educational facility.

On April 30, MTN visited the school and enjoyed a morning with the teachers and learners.

The teachers do their utmost to give each learner specialised attention. With JJ Masipa being a skills school, each learner has specific skills and futures they are working towards.

The message conveyed on the day was that all learners should work hard to achieve the best results in school and be successful outside of the school walls.

Various dignitaries were in attendance, including MTN regional staff members and Gauteng MEC representative, Patricia Ndindwa.

Part of the proceedings on the day was when MTN’s area manager Thembi Ndeya handed over several tablets for the learners to use.

“The teachers’ dedication and attention to small details is what sets you apart from other learning institutions,” said Ndeya.

“Education is important and that is what makes each learner into what they will become later in life. We want to come in and be part of the school and assist in areas where we can. We want to ensure that the learners are connected to the school wherever they go in life.”

Ndindwa said, “Hold onto your faith and beliefs. It will carry you through difficult times. Technology is the future for all learners. Walk tall and work hard. Today’s education is tomorrow’s future.”

In conclusion, JJ Masipa Technical School principal Olive Nyobole thanked everyone for attending.

“I am encouraging all learners to work hard to achieve top results according to their abilities. The harder you work the better chance you will have to achieve what you are aiming for. At JJ Masipa School, each learner works on their skills and does not compete against others. They are all working to achieve a brighter future for later in life,” said Nyabole.
