ABET and Private Learners
|
| 3.1 |
The current Examination System does not provide for the online registration of private and part-time learners (ABET). Entry forms (pink i.r.o. part-time (ABET) learners and green for private learners) are therefore included for this purpose. You are kindly requested to complete the enclosed entry forms in respect of the private or part-time (ABET) learners registered at your school/centre for the 2007 Senior Certificate examination, as well as Annexures A and Annexure B.
|
| 3.2 |
The completed entry forms and accompanying annexures must please be submitted to the above address to reach this office no later than 15 March 2007.
|

Every year the Department experiences difficulties finalising the entries for the examination as a result of errors. Numerous requests for subject and grade changes are also received after the entries have been finalised, as well as during the examination. You will appreciate that these requests create immense difficulties during the processing of results and also place an additional workload on the Directorate: Examinations. Please ensure that the registration of learners is correct in all respects. During the November 2006 examination, numerous learners changed their subjects/grades illegally. This year the Department reserves the right to declare these results null and void.
