Bhukulani Secondary School in Zondi Soweto, is known for producing brilliant matric pass rates since the appointment of a new school principal in 1998.\u00a0 The school underwent a huge transformation under the leadership of its Principal Dr Mduduzi Maphindikazi Mathe and Total South Africa was enthralled with the transformation the school underwent just under a period of a year.<\/p>\n

Matric exams in South Africa have fairly low standards: In order to pass, learners must have a 40 percent mark in three subjects and a 30 percent mark in three more subjects, Bhukulani\u2019s results are far above the national average. At the beginning every year, the school staff members and governance set their own targets and work around meeting those targets.<\/p>\n

As a result of the school\u2019s achievements, the school is in great demand, which has seen its enrolment grow from 611 students in 1998 to the current 1,200.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur learners are groomed as off grade 8, we instil hardworking morals from a young age and we\u2019d like to thank Total South Africa for acknowledging our work and giving us an opportunity to award our learners for the hard work and dedication they put in their studies. Since we\u2019ve partnered with Total in 2013, we have observed that more and more learners are being motivated to work even harder,\u201d says Dr Mathe, the school principal.<\/p>\n

Dr Mathe\u2019s leadership restored the culture of teaching and learning at the school. This process became a huge task but his method saw the school achieve a whopping 70% matric pass rate as compared to the previous year\u00a0 achieving only a 21,5%\u00a0 matric pass rate under the previous leadership. The school\u2019s success is due to the belief that \u201cthe most important client is the learner.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Total South Africa, we were impressed by the school\u2019s achievements over the years. Bhukulani is just a typical no-fee township school like most schools in the townships. But the determination of its principal, the staff, the school’s governance and parents continue to motivated the learners to produce great results,\u201d says Mrs Nyameka Makonya, Sustainable Development Manager at Total South Africa. \u201cWe believe that if Bhukulani Secondary School can do it, so can any other township school.\u201d<\/p>\n
