MEC Grant to announce schools holiday plan for 2010 FIFA World Cup

24 May 2010

Keeping our learners safe during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the
mid-year holidays is a major concern for this administration.

Not only do we want to make sure that they are free from harm's way, but
we also plan to make the most of the world cup, by using the energy
around the event to support teaching and learning in our schools.

Tomorrow, MEC Donald Grant will be announcing the various initiatives
that are aimed to help improve learner education outcomes during the
world cup, as well as keep learners safe and preoccupied during the
longer winter holiday break.

Venue: 23rd floor, Sanlam Building, Golden Acre, Adderley Street. (We
will ensure easy access for journalists)

Date: 25 May 2010
