As a further demonstration of the Western Cape government's commitment to create a learning home for all, Education MEC Cameron Dugmore will be switching on the electricity of the Voorsorg Primary School in the Koue Bokkeveld near Ceres, today (Tuesday 27 July 2004), at 5pm.

This brings to three the number of schools which have so far been electrified in terms of the Premier's 100-day deposits.

Over the weekend MEC Dugmore attended the switching-on ceremonies of two schools in Prins Albert (Seekoegat Primary) and Knysna (Bracken Hill Primary).

The Department and the MEC for Education are determined to meet the deadline to have six of the twelve outstanding schools still without power, electrified as pledged by Premier Ebrahim Rasool in his inaugural address.
