File photo.President Cyril Ramaphosa says he is encouraged by the success of the school teacher assistant programme which is part of the Presidential Employment Stimulus, the largest youth employment intervention by the government.

We are as encouraged by it as well but the danger is.....that intervention is not a permanent solution unless those children are absorbed permanently atleast
