They were evaluated with an EMS test and in other areas in the subject and outshined during the competition. They are yet to find out their results from the competition.

Rethabile Selepe, the EMS teacher, said: “This opportunity exposed them to exploring opportunities in economic and management sciences. It was also a learning curve for all of them. We’re very proud of them and I see a lot of potential in them.”
