Maitemogelo Comp Sec School (Tswelelang)

Maitemogelo Comp Sec School in Tswelelang, Extension 10, North West. Extension 10! They ran out of name ideas at Extension 9 and just kept going, and honestly that energy carries straight into the classroom. 1458 learners, 44 teachers, a ratio of 33 to 1. That is not a school, that is a stadium event. Your teacher is not teaching a class, they are addressing a congregation. By the time sir gets to your desk to check your work, you have already finished matric and started a small business. The matric pass rate is sitting at 73.2%, which means roughly 1 in 4 kids did not make it through. Jy weet hoe is dit, when the ratio is 33 to 1 and you are somewhere in Extension 10, North West, getting that 73% is actually a small miracle and the teachers deserve a proper braai and a long weekend. But we are still going to laugh because 26.8% of those kids are out there wondering what happened. At least it is a no-fee school, so nobody is going home crying about school fees on top of everything else. The government picked up the bill, which is the one thing that actually hits different out here. Credit where it is due. Overall verdict: Maitemogelo is overcrowded, underpowered, and sitting in Extension 10 like it is waiting for Extension 11 to bring the extra teachers, but those 73% who walked out with a certificate earned it the hard way and deserve their flowers.
