1. The attention of principals and chief invigilators is drawn to the stipulation that subject changes in examination venues during the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations will not be allowed during the forthcoming examinations. The NSC is a three-year qualification and SBA marks must have been generated by candidates during the full Grade 12 year. Allowing subject changes in examination venues is, therefore, contrary to the NSC policy and regulations.
2. The WCED has allowed adequate time during 2009 to ensure that entries are correct. All subject changes in the first term have been approved, and corrections made on the first and second preliminary lists of entries were corrected on the examinations system. After these three opportunities, there should be no incorrect registration of a candidate on the system.
3. Please inform chief invigilators about this stipulation. However, if a situation arises as a result of an incorrect entry, principals must contact the WCED at one of the following telephone numbers:

Mr JL Molfert
Ms G Laguma
Ms L van Rensburg
Mr L van Gensen
021 467 2915
021 467 2913
021 467 2912
021 467 2976
4. Your co-operation in this regard will be appreciated.
