Mopani TVET College held results and accountability session for academic year 2024, on 27 January 2025 at the Phalaborwa Campus. The primary focus of the session was to analyse the results across the programmes offered at the college namely, National Certificate Vocational NC(V) levels 2-4, Report 191 Business Studies & Engineering Studies. The session aimed to assess whether the college’s results had improved and to evaluate the effectiveness of the improvement plans implemented after previous academic cycles, with a focus on enhancing teaching and learning outcomes.  The college surpassed its NC(V) pass percentage, increasing from 82% in 2023 to 87% in 2024. This 5% improvement is attributed to the hard work and dedication of the lecturing staff across both campuses. Similarly, Report 191 Engineering Studies saw a 5% increase in performance, rising from 60% in the second trimester of 2024 to 65% in the third trimester.

Business Studies, on the other hand, maintained a steady pass rate of 82% across both the first and second semesters of 2024.  The session reaffirmed the importance of accountability, continuous monitoring, and targeted interventions in improving student performance. The College remains focused on building on these gains and further enhancing academic excellence across all programmes in future academic cycles.

Mopani TVET College donated six whiteboards to Refiloe Primary School in Namakgale, Phalaborwa, as part of its ongoing commitment to support local education. The handover took place at the College’s Corporate Centre on 23 January 2025. The donation is aimed at enhancing teaching and learning by providing essential classroom resources. The new whiteboards are expected to improve lesson delivery and create a more engaging learning environment for learners.

The College emphasised the importance of supporting schools beyond infrastructure, encouraging continued focus on learner development and exposure to future opportunities. The initiative also highlights the value of strengthening relationships between educational institutions within the community. Refiloe Primary School Principal, Ms Mavis Mmola, expressed appreciation for the gesture, noting its impact on the school. “This will go a long way in helping our learners. With these whiteboards, we will surely improve teaching and learning and the quality of education we offer,” she said. This initiative is important and also highlights the significance of collaboration in improving educational outcomes and ensuring that learners have access to the necessary resources to succeed.
