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.

What Level Is Matric?

Matric is at NQF Level 4. You get awarded a Matric Certificate once you pass Matric. When a qualification is registered on the NQF system, it is recognised in South Africa. You can use your Matric Certificate to further your education or find work.

What Does The Matriculation Year Mean?

The Matriculation year means that it is the year in which you study the Matric class. If you pass Matric, you are said to have matriculated. This is a very important year in which you must dedicate yourself to your studies. The good results you earn will be worth the hard work.

What Is The Difference Between Matric And Grade 12?
