I failed matric, what now?

As most Matrics of 2019 celebrated and received their National Senior Certificate, unfortunately some did not. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but it does not mean it’s the end of the world. There are numerous ways to get back on your feet.. Re-enrol for the NSC as full-time repeat candidate at the high school you were at without any delay.. The Western Cape Education Department asks a fee to get your exams re-marked or re-checked to improve your marks.. The supplementary exams are like a second chance to write exams, and takes place in May-June 2020.. Register for the Senior Certificate Examinations, a school leaving qualification for adults and those who failed.. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), where students who did not pass can train towards a specific occupation.. Bridging courses will allow you to improve your marks and potentially get a pre-degree/diploma.. Second Chance Programme was started by the Department of Education to support learners who failed in getting better results.. Consider a gap year, just to find yourself and decide what you want to do with your life.The most important factor influencing the decision is support from friends and family that encourage you to do better. It’s like riding a bike; some people have a natural thing for it while others have to give it a couple of attempts to be successful. Remember, what matters is getting back up and trying again.
