The closing date for the submission of nominations for five members of the Convocation to the Excom of the Convocation was 18 May 2020 at 16:30. A total of six nominations were received and scrutinised, after which two nominations were declared invalid due to substantial non-conformance with the requirements laid down. The remaining four candidates are thus elected to the Excom and will serve for a period not exceeding five years.

We wish to congratulate the following four officials (in alphabetical order) with their election to the Excom of the Convocation:

1. Dr Pieter Bettings
2. Ms Ntombi Nhlapo
3. Mr Ntakuseni Razwiedani
4. Ms Nokuthula Sithole

A meeting of the Excom of the Convocation will be scheduled to discuss the one remaining vacancy in the Excom.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in this process as well for their interest in, and commitment to the University and its affairs.

Received from: The Registrar and the President of the Convocation

RIEP presents Science quiz for Grade 12 learners
2007-10-29

 

The Research Institute for Education Planning (RIEP) at the University of the Free State (UFS) presented a Science quiz for Grade 12 learners of secondary schools in Philippolis, Springfontein and Trompsburg as part of RIEP's Science intervention programme in the Southern Free State. The aim of the quiz was to enable learners to exhibit their knowledge of Science and to serve as an opportunity for them to prepare for the coming matric exam. The quiz, funded by BP Southern Africa, is part of TRAC South Africa, an international non-profit programme aimed at supporting and developing the education of science, maths and technology in secondary schools in South Africa. Here are, from the left: Mr Johnny Machedi (Department of Education, Free State), Koba Oerson, Ntswaki Mthimkulu, Mr Christiaan Eichstedt (Headmaster of Springfontein Secondary School), Innocentia Mdliki, Maditlhare Mathobanyana and Ceswin Oerson. All the learners are from Springfontein Secondary School, winner of the quiz.
