Last year, education minister Angie Motshekga revealed that at least 400 000 learners have been assisted through the programme to “achieve their subject passes towards their NSC or SC qualification.”

Subjects that learners can register for include:

Accounting
Agricultural Science
Business Studies
Economics
English First Additional Language
Geography
History
Mathematics
Mathematic Literacy
Physical Sciences
Life Sciences

“The programme offers face-to-face support, online support and a wide range of learning support materials. The programme facilitates the development of learning and teaching support materials (LTSMs) that are based on diagnostic reports, so as to ensure that the support materials focus on common areas of poor performance as seen in previous examinations. The LTSMs are government-owned, printed and distributed to learners at no cost to the learner,” Motshekga said.
