Eleven Community stations will start providing virtual matric revision classes on Tuesday, in conjunction with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the Government and Communication and Information Services (GCIS).

“Earlier I have initiated a meeting with community radio stations to discuss support for the Matric 2007 Revision Programme of the WCED,” says MEC for Education in the Western Cape, Cameron Dugmore.

Some radio stations will broadcast the session live, while others will record them for separate programming and will announce the times of the session on air.

“Learners and teachers can email questions to matric07@pgwc.gov.za, or phone in to a toll free line, 0800 –314- 446 during broadcast times, from 6 to 7pm from Monday to Thursday each week,” says Dugmore.

The WCED will provide details to schools on the schedule, which is expected to continue for eight weeks.
