The Centre for Education Development (CED) in the Faculty of Education at the University of the Free State recently held a prize-giving ceremony on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein to honour six matriculants who performed exceptionally well in Mathematics in their final examinations in 2008. Three of them, Matshediso Mothibi, Soyiso Khethoa and Makae Maema from Trompsburg Secondary School, received certificates for achieving symbol C while Chumo Loyiso Madadasana from Springfontein Secondary School, Themba Mdwaba and Morapedi Mokheseng also from Trompsburg Secondary School, received certificates, trophies and R10 000 bursaries each for getting distinctions. These top achievers were part of the Investec-sponsored Investec / RIEP Southern Free State Project which started in 2006. The acronym RIEP stands for Research Institute for Education Planning which is now the CED. Pictured are, from the left: Mdwaba, Khethoa, Mothibi, Mokheseng and Makae.
