Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane will on Thursday, 27 January, hand over 1 051 bursaries to top learners from Quintile one, two and three schools (no fee paying schools). The bursaries are offered by the provincial government through its Gauteng City Region Academy (GCRA).
One of the key functions of the GCRA is to ensure that young people living in Gauteng are employable. This is achieved through facilitation and coordination of bursaries, learnerships, internships and career guidance.
This initiative will encourage the 'Class of 2011' to work harder to also become beneficiaries of this scheme. A further 400 bursaries have been allocated for artisanship and further education and training (FET) colleges.
Details of the event are as follows:
Date: Thursday, 27 January 2011
