Good luck to all learners
The Gauteng Department of Education wished grade 8 to 12 learners in the 470 Gauteng priority schools the best of luck for the mid-year examinations.
These are schools which have been prioritised as needing additional support and tuition in the province. Learners in these schools will be writing common examination papers set at a provincial level in selected subjects.
The mid-year examinations are very important in that they serve as a practice session for learners to experience the examination conditions that they will face at the end of the year.
Department spokesperson, Phumla Sekgonyane, said all systems are in place at these schools to ensure that these examinations run smoothly. “The department has set up teams in all 15 districts to monitor and ensure schools comply with requirements set up for these examinations . We would also like to wish learners from schools which are not categorised as priority schools and not required to write common examinations well as they will also be writing their mid-year examinations,” she said.
