WESSELTON – Eskom’s Camden Power Station, in partnership with Carab Tekniva Group, Ligbron Academy of Technology, and the Herman Ohlthaver Trust, donated two e-learning equipment systems to Lindile Secondary School.
These systems will be used for grade 11 and 12 mathematics and science, as these two subjects are an essential factor in learners’ career choices.
According to Ms Duduzile Tshabangu, the communications and stakeholder management practitioner of Camden Power Station, this is aimed at bringing quality education to learners in rural and underperforming schools within Msukaligwa Local Municipality.
Mr Dup van Rensburg, the former principal of Ligbron Academy for Technology, said, “The e-learning system comprised of high-quality technology aimed at preparing our learners for the fourth industrial revolution. This is evident, as one of our best-performing maths and science learners, who at the time was at Camden Combined School, was offered a scholarship to study medicine in Russia, and is now a qualified medical doctor awaiting placement for employment. This should be motivation and encouragement to learners in local schools to focus and work hard, because what you put in is eventually what you get out. Only the sky is the limit.”
Mr Peter Lukhele, representing Camden Power Station’s management, said Eskom cares about the community in which it operates, therefore supplying the community with the necessary resources required to be competitive in the new era of technology.
“It is our responsibility as Eskom to ensure that we improve the quality of lives for children in our society,” Mr Lukhele said.
He concluded that it is the learner’s responsibility to ensure they take advantage of this opportunity, and urged the community to take care of these items for future generations to come.
