Minister Motshekga indicated that the improvements needed to be sustained and pushed for the 70 percent mark in 2011 and beyond. There were many schools that needed attention and action. She pledged to continue to work with provinces to target districts for special support, with a planned visit to Bohlabela (Bushbuckridge) before the end of January 2011 to work out ways of providing more assistance to this district. She also indicated that provinces would be requested to prepare intervention strategies for all schools performing below the national average.
