AS the deadline approaches, the Matric Class of 2024 is reminded that registration for matric rewrite programmes concludes in March 2025. This window offers an invaluable opportunity for students aiming to improve their National Senior Certificate (NSC) results. Scammers are also taking advantage of vulnerable students who are looking to rewrite their matric.
Matric results play a crucial role in shaping your future, whether you want to pursue higher education, qualify for better job opportunities, or meet university admission requirements, improving your marks can make all the difference. A second chance at success is within reach, and choosing the right matric rewrite programme will help you make the most of it.
Selecting the best institution is key to improving your results. CEO of
Star Schools, Vimala Ariyan, offers expert advice to help you make an informed decision:
"Make sure the school has sufficient funding," advises Ariyan. "Underfunded institutions often struggle with a lack of quality teachers, learning materials, and academic support - factors that can negatively impact your progress."
"Always verify that the institution is accredited by the Department of Education," says Ariyan. "Non-accredited centers put your future at risk, as their matric programme may not be recognized by the DBE. The Department has repeatedly warned against enrolling in such institutions."
"A history of success speaks volumes about an institution’s ability to support students," Ariyan explains. "Choose a school with experience and a solid reputation for helping learners improve their matric results." Star Schools, for example, have been empowering students since 1976, and have assisted over 620,000 learners achieve better outcomes.
"Rewriting matric can be challenging, so a school that offers counselling and academic support can make a big difference," Ariyan notes. "Having access to experienced educators and emotional guidance will help you stay motivated and focused." Selecting the right institution for your matric rewrite is a pivotal decision that can significantly impact your academic and professional future. By avoiding common pitfalls and considering the factors outlined above, you can make an informed choice that sets you on the path to success.
