Matric (Grade 12) Support Booklet (PDF) 2023

We have decided to publish matric support booklet which was issued by the Gauteng Department of Basic Education. The aim of this booklet is to help grade 12 learners cope with their workload and also learn to manage time.

The Matric Support Booklet provides learners with practical guidelines through a FINAL PUSH STRATEGY that focuses on the importance of the NSC, career counselling, study skills and subject
specific exam tips for all the NSC subjects.

The booklet also serves to motivate the learner to strive for excellence, even in these difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Various helplines are provided to ensure that learners will seek and access help timeously.

As the count down continues towards the final NCS exams, the GDE wishes that all students will refocus their attention and energies towards achieving the NSC. We wish you well and encourage you to give your best shot for the preparation of the final exams.
