Understanding Matric – Part 1

As we head into the end of October, the exams are one of the first things on many students and even parent’s minds. And of the exams, the most talked about and definitely stressed-out exams is the Matric examinations.

So, this week we will take a look at the Matric examinations, which commences next week – the 31st of October 2022.

The term Matric in South Africa refers to the last grade in High School which is known as Grade 12. Matric is a highly valued grade. This is because you need to pass Matric in order to be awarded a Matric Certificate, which is the qualification needed to study at university.
