Thursday, April 10, 2014

Pretoria – The marking of the 2013 National Senior Certificate (NSC) Supplementary Examination scripts have been concluded, the Basic Education Department announced on Thursday.

The department said learners will be able to collect their marks from 29 April 2014 to 6 May 2014.

About 86 493 full time and 1 367 part time candidates sat for the 2013 supplementary examinations, which commenced on 17 February 2014 and concluded on 25 March 2014. The exams took place in 6 137 examination centres across the country.

The NSC Supplementary Examination is a special examination, which provides learners a second opportunity to write the NSC examination, based on specific criteria.

“These criteria in the main refer to candidates incapable of writing the November examination because of medical issues or learners, who did not meet the specific requirements for attaining the National Senior Certificate,” the department explained.

Learners will be able to collect their results from their examination centres.

The department thanked all the staff involved in the successful administration of the supplementary examinations. – SAnews.gov.za
