When officiating at the prize giving ceremony on October 23, Dr Dikoloti cited himself as a product of the government education system and believed that they too could make it and succeed in life.

‘I have walked these corridors, have been a learner here and I have defied all odds to attaining higher education. I tell you now it is possible and you can do it,” he said.

Dr Dikoloti said he was aware that not all pupils were academically gifted. However he encouraged those who he said were born entrepreneurs to venture into business especially agribusiness, which he encouraged in his constituency.

On another note he said it was their role as leaders, teachers and parents to ensure that they created a conducive learning environment permitting every child to reach their full potential. 

The School head, MS Olebile Mokgweetsi thanked the MP for gracing the event, adding that this year has been challenging because of the closure of schools due to COVID-19.
