1. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) received Circular E21 of 2015 from the Department of Basic Education (DBE) amending the 2015 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination timetable for the second time.

2. According to the NSC timetable, which has been circulated to schools by means of Circular 0029/2015 dated 21 May 2015, the subjects Electrical Technology and Tourism are scheduled to be written at 14:00 on Tuesday, 24 November 2015.

3. However, after the DBE had finalised the registration data, it was discovered that some candidates have registered for both Electrical Technology and Tourism. This implies a clash on the timetable.

4. Therefore, in order to accommodate these candidates, the following amendments have been made:

  1. Electrical Technology has been moved to 14:00 on Thursday, 12 November 2015, to be written together with Nautical Science and Dance Studies.

  2. Tourism will be written as scheduled at 14:00 on Tuesday, 24 November 2015.
5. The amended final 2015 NSC examination timetable is attached.

6. Principals should ensure that all teachers and candidates are informed of this amendment.
