Additionally, a dedicated team of educators is set to bring a fresh approach to teaching, focusing on personalized learning paths to cater to diverse student needs.
Construction is expected to begin in the coming months, and anticipation is building among parents and children alike. The project is seen as a vital investment in Mhlumeni’s future, promising to unlock new opportunities for young minds to thrive and contribute positively to society.
