Nyda Lungisa Visit Soweto Schools

National Youth Development Agency The NYDA Board Executive Chairperson Andile Lungisa visited Morris Isaacson High School in Soweto during the national school’s opening on 13 January 2010. The visit was part of the NYDA’s 2010 back to school campaign aimed at encouraging learners to go back to school and take their education seriously.

Morris Isaacson ...is one of the schools that have recorded a drop in the matric results this year recording 53 %, dropping from a 66.6 % mark it achieved in 2008. The NYDA has undertaken to use its mandate to lobby government to create an enabling studying environment for all learners in schools across South Africa to ensure they perform to their maximum.

“We can not continue to be complacent in accepting results that are below standard, when we understand very well that given a chance our learners can perform better,” said Lungisa.
