Members of the Free State Executive Council, led by Premier Magashule, will be visiting Free State provincial government's full time bursary holders in their respective higher education institutions on Saturday, 21 August 2010.
The bursary information sessions aim to ensure maximum results from the students through maintaining regular contact in regard to their progress and challenges while at the same time focuses on supporting and motivating them in the endeavours through using the already available support systems from the higher education institutions.
The visits also offer platforms for the Executive Committee to enhance the working relationships between the provincial government and with the higher education institutions.
These bursary holders, studying in various career fields, have benefited from the Free State provincial government's Operation Hlasela Fund.
The fund to date has awarded more than 2 500 bursaries to learners since the inauguration last year. This is the first of its kind in the history of the government that as many students have been provided opportunities to pursue studies of their choice.
Institutions to be visited are in the Western Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and North West. The Executive Committee will meet with all the students in each province in one institution.
The visits are scheduled to commence at 14h00 and they are as follows:
