3 February 2020.

Worley Ltd and BCF proudly announce the launch of a new programme which will see the training of principals of 220 schools in the Vhembe and Capricorn districts of the Limpopo province.

This programme will not only benefit the 150,000 learners who currently attend these schools but all the children who will attend these schools for years to come. Once a school has become a centre of excellence it usually increases its academic excellence and results year after year as is borne out by schools which attended in the Eastern and Northern Cape Provinces of South Africa.

After training principals in the Eastern and Northern Cape Provinces in South Africa in 2015 matriculation results at the secondary schools trained have increased annually as is demonstrated below
