A total of 21 802 matric candidates from the North West Department of Education will be writing an English paper during their May/June examination in the 499 examination centres across the province as of Wednesday, 03 May 2023.

The supplementary examination consists of the class of 2022 learners who are supplementing certain subjects and the old people who registered through the second chance matric program, who could not complete their matric in the past years.

The department of Basic Education introduced a Second Chance Matric programme to help those who want to obtain their matric certificates.

The MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi sends her good wishes to all candidates writing the 2023 May/June supplementary examinations.

“I take this time to wish good luck to all the candidates who are writing their supplementary examinations. I want them not to panic when they write but rather to read the questions thoroughly and answer as required. You cannot answer the question if you do not fully understand the question. However, I am confident that our candidates have been receiving tutorials at school, where they were studying matric in 2022.

“Departmental officials from corporate and districts will be deployed on daily basis to monitor the conduct and administration of the examinations”, said MEC Motsumi.

The supplementary examinations are scheduled to end on 14 June 2023.
