Spelling bee competition for children

The Department of Education in partnership with Banking Association South Africa augments a spelling bee that is done in language in the way to focus on Financial Literacy (EMS Concepts).

Some of the children who took part in the spelling bee competition. The children are Mrs Brenda Marabe (Education Specialist), Precious Mlangeni (Maloma Primary School 5th place), Lucia Mahlangu (Vuma Combined School 4th place), Mrs L. Motau (Cluster Leader).
Ntombenhle Mtsweni (Witbank Primary School 1st place), Sefako Lebogang (Kopanang Secondary School 2nd place) and Nolwazi Mahlangu (Witbank Primary School 3rd place).

Their aim is to advocate learners learning to save at the early stage. It is a programme that aims to teach English across curriculum using EMS Concepts. We want to build EMS conceptual knowledge amongst learners.
