The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng extends its best wishes to all Grade 12 learners as they begin their final matric examinations today.
The exams are set to conclude at the end of November 2024. The DA encourages parents and communities to offer vital support to help learners prepare effectively during this critical period.
Learners are urged to focus on their studies, remain disciplined, exercise patience, and avoid any temptation to cheat. For those feeling overwhelmed, the DA encourages reaching out to family and friends for support, emphasizing that mental health is just as important as academic success.
Parents are also encouraged to provide full support to their children during this stressful time.
The DA calls on the Gauteng Department of Education to ensure that all examination centres are fully prepared and secure, with appropriate measures in place to prevent any disruptions or paper leaks.
To ensure a smooth process, the DA will actively monitor the exams through oversight inspections at various centres.
“Class of 2024, we believe in your abilities. Let your hard work shine through.”
