The official opening of the Greenpoint Primary School in Kimberley was officiated this morning by Premier Dr Zamani Saul and the MEC responsible for education in the province, Zolile Monakali. The department says that the construction of this new school forms part of plans to eradicate asbestos school infrastructure in the province as the asbestos structures are considered to be a health hazard to learners and educators. The school is equipped with modern facilities aimed to enhance quality learning and teaching. During the opening remarks it was reiterated that education remains a cornerstone in the development of communities through the enhancement of the overall infrastructure of the school. A call was made by the premier to the entire school community to take ownership of the school in taking care of this new state of the art building. The recent opening of the Rooirand Primary School precedes the opening of this school.
