Parents should support and encourage their children to study, a principal has said.
Patrick Moloto Primary School principal Madumetja Molekoa said this to parents during the first award ceremony for best achievers in sports and academics at the school recently.

He invited parents to witness the beauty of seeing their children being awarded for their hard work and perseverance.
“We are proud to host our first of many award ceremonies. We are building a better future for our learners,” said Molekoa.
“As a parent, it is your duty to pay attention to your child’s performance. Parents should be involved in their children’s learning circle and support them despite challenges and problems that are faced at home,” said Molekoa.
