This requested meeting follows after she paid a visit to the Summerville Primary Farm School outside Bultfontein on Friday. 

During her address to parents, teachers, and pupils at the school, Sotyu announced she and the school principal had discussed compelling issues which were raised by him. 

Other issues discussed included the mixed grades where students work and learn together across more than one grade level. She said this could prove disastrous for the province in future.
