The South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) yesterday wished well the 588 000matriculants who begin their final exams on Monday.

SADTU says Matric exams mark an end to the twelve years of basic and secondary schooling and a beginning of a new life for learners.

The unions the marks obtained are a gateway to a bright future as they give options on the choice of career to follow.

Secretary general Mugwena Maluleka says they urge this class to work hard, be disciplined and aim high.

“We also urge the learners not to stress but to use these few days to revise the work they have done during the course of the year,” Maluleka said.

The Matric Class of 2009 is the second class to write the National Curriculum Statement examination.

A committee tasked to review the National Curriculum Statement has come up with recommendations aimed at improving its implementation.

“And we are calling upon the government as well to ensure that they increase the security around exam papers, because we do not want the integrity to be questionable at the end of the year,” Maluleke added.
