Matriculants of 2023 who want to better their National Senior Certificate (NSC) results must apply now to rewrite during May/June NSC this year.
Registration closes on Friday 9 February.
Bronagh Hammond, spokesperson for the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) says this is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one’s NSC and it should not be missed. “The content is fresh in the candidates’ minds, so it would be beneficial to register to write sooner rather than having to wait a whole year,” she urges.
Every candidate who did not pass should continue doing whatever they can to complete Grade 12. In the province approximately 30% of the candidates who did not pass required one more subject to do so and about 20% needed two subjects. These candidates are so close to achieving their goals.
Registration forms can be found on the WCED website: https://wcedonline.westerncape.gov.za/national-senior-certificate-nsc-exams
To prepare for these examinations, candidates can take advantage of the many matric resources on our website: https://wcedonline.westerncape.gov.za/matric-support
This includes study guides, video tutorials and examination papers and memos.
The Second Chance Matric Support Programme in the Western Cape is also offering private candidates free tutoring classes who are registered to write the May/June examinations.
The tutoring will cover: Afrikaans FAL, Agricultural Sciences, Business Studies, Economics, English FAL, Geography, History, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, and Physical Sciences.
Hammond adds that Second Chance Matric Support Centres have been established in selected areas in the Western Cape. The centres will provide support to learners who have not been able to meet the requirements of the National Senior Certificate (NSC) or the extended Senior Certificate (SC).
There are no cost. All tuition is offered for free.
Registration to enter the programme has already begun. Information on registration and tutoring venues can be found at: https://wcedonline.westerncape.gov.za/second-chance-matric-programme
The programme is expected to start at the beginning of March 2024.
