Schools in the country, with the exception of private schools, are in the last term of the 2021 academic year, with internal and external examinations scheduled to start as early as next month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs schools and learners prepare for their examinations, we do wish to see all of them attaining a commendable pass rate,\u201d she said. The minister said preparations were already at advanced stages and that there was no room for any disturbances. She further encouraged the nation to play a role in curbing such behaviour by being vigilant and protecting the schools and learners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducation remains a fundamental human right for all and no one should deprive any citizen his or her right to education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also remains an important driver of development to any person or society and it is therefore imperative to afford children the opportunity to learn like everyone else,\u201d she said. Remarkable She noted that since the reopening of schools this year, they had seen remarkable progress. Mabuza added that teachers had attributed greatly to the progress in the past three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to commend the teachers, who are working hard to recover the time lost, the learners who are focused on their studies, parents and the entire nation for their contributions towards this positive progress,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
