WCED support for NSC supplementary exams. Statement by Minister Debbie Schäfer, Minister of Education More than 3 000 candidates have enrolled to write supplementary examinations for the National Senior Certificate, from 16 February to 24 March 2016. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has created a special website to help candidates prepare for the examinations - find website here - The department is also broadcasting lessons via satellite on selected subjects and topics to 132 schools across the province. The broadcasts form part of the Telematics programme, in collaboration with the University of Stellenbosch. The website includes the timetable for the supplementary examinations, exemplar papers, past papers and marking memos, study guides, order forms for recordings of Telematics lessons, and links to online videos on selected subjects. The website includes a schedule for the Telematics broadcasts and a list of the schools concerned, and their contact details. Candidates will find the website under tag "Supplementary Examinations" on the WCED's web site at wced.school.za. Candidates can also search for resources on the WCED's ePortal, that includes links to digital resources for all grades. The WCED's telematics centres will provide lessons for supplementary candidates in February and March. The lessons will cover selected topics in seven subjects, alternating between English and Afrikaans. The subjects are Business Studies, Geography, History, Mathematics, Accounting, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences. The WCED is printing additional copies of its popular "Matric Countdown" guide, which provides study tips and exemplar examination papers for seven subjects. They are available at our district offices. We believe that these support measures and resources can assist our candidates in tackling the areas in which they failed and help improve their results. I strongly encourage these candidates to make use of this opportunity and put in their best effort to pass the supplementary exam. I wish them all the very best of luck for their studies and preparations over the next couple of weeks. | |
