IN a bid to help Grade 12 learners make an informed decision about further education, an educational expo will be held at the grounds of Penzance Primary School on Saturday, August 2, from 08:00 to 15:00.
Ben Madokwe, a community leader and programme co-ordinator, said that a number of higher education institutions have been invited to be part of the Umbilo Glenwood Education Expo. He said the aim and objective of the expo is to unpack the process of registration at institutions “in terms of the points system and the different courses that are offered”.
“We are expecting over 100 young people, mostly from high schools around our area, to come through. We are also calling on those that did not get spaces at higher education institutions last year or the previous years, to attend the expo and get the advice that they need on the way forward,” said Madokwe.

Among the institutions that are expected to attend the event are UKZN, DUT, MUT and eThekweni College. Madokwe said that they have also invited members of the eThekwini Municipality’s Skills Development Programme.
“They will give an overview of how one can become part of the programme. Information about the learnerships will also be available to the attendees. We want our young people to leave the expo informed and armed with opportunities. They must know all the options and avenues available to them when they finish matric. The expo is free and open to all those who wish to attend,” added Madokwe.
Penzance Primary School is on 10 Bartle Road, Glenwood. For more information, contact Ben Madokwe on 073 395 3257.
