The Western Cape Department of Education has encouraged the matrics of 2014 who failed to take the opportunity to do supplementary exams. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Jessica Shelver said 97% of candidates either passed or qualified for a supplementary and less than 3% of learners do not qualify but can rewrite the 2015 National Senior Certificate. 

Shelver said candidates now also have the opportunity to have their scripts re-marked or rechecked.

Shelver said this provides these candidates with a wonderful opportunity to now pass their NSC.

Shelver said in all examinations, stress and emotions can get to some candidates, causing them to ‘slip-up’ or not perform their best, therefore, a second chance to complete the NSC requirements successfully should not be ignored.

Shelver said they strongly encourage these candidates to make use of this opportunity and put in their best effort to pass it.

Shelver said for the less than 3% of learners who did not pass their NSC or qualify for a supplementary, there is still the opportunity to apply to write the 2015 NSC.

“We would like to encourage these candidates to re-apply to write the 2015 NSC Shelver added.
