The 40-day countdown to the 2022 final matric exams has begun.
Maynier said the issue of load shedding was particularly concerning as matric candidates head into what could be regarded as one of the most stressful times of their young adult lives. Sadtu spokesperson Nomusa Cembi said the matric class had already been working from a disadvantage, brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately these exams will be written under extreme load shedding circumstances. The current matric class was in Grade 10 when Covid-19 started. They have had to work harder to cover the curriculum adequately due to the pandemic.
"We have had a good year without disruptions in the education sector as far as Covid, labour unrest and weather is concerned. The concern now is load shedding. We plead with the provincial education departments to identify the vulnerable schools and districts and avail resources for additional lighting or generators so that students can at least work at school during load shedding," he said.
"All those measures taken to ensure learners make it through Grade 12 during Covid should be done and we should have the same kind of urgency when dealing with load shedding. Let’s help learners overcome the burden by providing safe spaces for them to study." The education department also emphasised the importance of the psycho-social aspect of ensuring a candidate’s success.Social workers have been on hand during residential camps, to support learners in need and to conduct motivational sessions with matriculants. Workshops are being run in schools, focusing on self-care, exam anxiety, study skills, motivation, time management, relaxation and stress management skills, and a host of other topics.
