Also continued to say we are here to assist learners in this Agricultural School with tools of trade.

The MEC also emphasised that cellphone has a pivotal role to play in the education system of our country, but most of the learners do not use it for the purpose of education but for things that are not beneficial. He continued to say that since cellphone is a powerful tool, there must be policies in place to regulate the use of this powerful tool.

MEC Thabo Mokone emphasised that we will work together with the LDARD to make this school become a better school, and produce people who are ready to deal with the problems of the future and we are asking all the learners to co-operate with your teachers so that we can build a young generation that can take South Africa forward.
