Grade 7 Mpophomeni primary schools learners got career education on Thursday 25th of May, thanks to uMngeni Municipality library services, uMgungundlovu District Municipality and various other government departments. This event took place as we celebrate Africa Day. The learners got career information from teachers, police, fire fighters, correctional service officers as well NGOs such SAPC and New Start.
Among the speakers at the event was Mrs Thulisile Ndlovu, a teacher who emphasized the importance of getting career knowledge at early age. According to her this helps motivate learners and parents to know the type of subjects they must choose for their children at primary school level. It also paves a good foundation for the learner’s behaviour.
The expo ran for the whole day with various speakers sharing the stage. According to the organisers this event will be organized occasionally to help share valuable information and help every child to be career savvy.
