Comprehensive Resources for Matric Learners

The Western Cape Government is dedicated to ensuring the success of more than 60,000 matric learners as the National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams approach. With just 40 days left before the exams begin, the government has put in place a variety of measures to offer maximum assistance to students, parents, and teachers.

One vital aspect of this support system is the yearly Matric Support booklet, an all-inclusive guide for candidates encompassing numerous subjects. This invaluable resource includes past papers for high enrollment subjects, the exam schedule, study suggestions, guidance for life after matric, and the necessary requirements for passing. Moreover, it explains when and how results will be released and offers advice on requesting re-marks, re-checks, and supplementary exams.

To further assist matric learners, the Western Cape Government has assembled a substantial array of eLearning materials accessible online at https://wcedonline.westerncape.gov.za/matric-support. These resources provide students with a vast amount of revision and exam practice material, supplemented by video lessons, subject study guides, study tips, radio and TV revision broadcasts, and links to online tutoring.

School Programs and Teacher Dedication

In addition to online resources, nearly 18,000 matric learners participated in the Winter School program during the June/July holidays. To maintain this momentum, districts and schools will organize Spring School in the first week of October. Moreover, selected schools host #BackOnTrack classes for matrics every second Saturday during the term. Schools have also initiated extra classes and revision support tailored to their learners’ specific requirements.

Despite obstacles such as the minibus taxi strike and load shedding, Grade 12 teachers have demonstrated unwavering commitment in preparing their learners for the upcoming exams. The Western Cape Government extends its appreciation to these educators for their tireless efforts and hopes for their continued success in preparing students for future educational and employment opportunities.

As the #ClassOf2023 enters the final phase, the government recognizes the stress associated with this time and urges learners to seek assistance from their schools or the Safe Schools Hotline (0800 45 46 47 toll-free) if they are having difficulty coping with the pressure. With such a robust support system in place, the Western Cape Government remains resolute in its commitment to helping these learners achieve their objectives and rejoice in their accomplishments when the exam results are released.

Unwavering Support for Matric Learners

In conclusion, the Western Cape Government has taken considerable steps to support matric learners during this critical period. By providing comprehensive resources such as the Matric Support booklet, eLearning materials, and a variety of school programs, the government showcases its unwavering dedication to the success of the #ClassOf2023. As the exams draw near, students, parents, and teachers can find solace in knowing they have the full support of the Western Cape Government. With determination, hard work, and an abundance of assistance, matric learners are well-prepared to tackle the challenges of the upcoming exams and beyond.
