The moment has arrived for the matric class of 2020 as they prepare to sit for arguably the most important examination of their life.
From this Thursday, the 5th of November to the 15th of December, a total of just over one million candidates will sit for their final National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams.
The series of exams will start with the English First Additional Language Paper 1 on Thursday and conclude with the Visual Arts and Agricultural Management Practices papers.
Basic Education Deputy Minister, Dr Reginah Mhaule, has wished the matrics all the best as they prepare for the final lap and also thanked teachers for supporting learners during a stressful academic year.
On Friday, the Education Quality Assurance Council, Umalusi, gave the various assessment bodies the greenlight to administer the 2020 matric exams.
