Learners encouraged to lead by example

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has reminded a group of learners that with every right comes corresponding responsibilities.

She addressed more than 1,000 learners from Mitchell’s Plain in Cape Town on Wednesday while briefing them on the Bill of Responsibilities that is to be unveiled in all schools nationwide.

The bill was presented to learners at Glendale High School on Wednesday morning.

A practical and accessible guide to the Constitution’s Bill of Rights, it will form part of the national curriculum encouraging learners to do the right thing and change the country for the better.

The bill upholds the democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.

Learners are encouraged to be responsible citizens beyond the walls of the classroom.

Glendale High School Principal Achmat Chotia has taken on the responsibility to lead by example and teach the values to his learners.
