“Everyone played his/her part in producing great results from the educators, learners, school governing body as well as the support we have received from the parents.”
He said the school never changed its teaching method.
Matji said they just started teaching early and extra classes from the beginning of the year, and the learners and teachers also came to school during the weekends and holidays.
“Our classes started at 06:00 and ended at 17:00. That’s our secret. We never set any goals of producing a 100% pass rate,” he said.
“Our goal at Vlakfontein Secondary School is quality results for the learners.”
