Woza Matrics is back to support learners
Lessons and exam guide shows are also available on a dedicated Woza Matrics YouTube channel, and via 27 community radio stations across the country, with additional tutor support provided through VELLE on Telegram and learning support resources via the Matric Live App.
The Woza Matrics campaign continues to offer support to Grade 12 learners in 10 subjects. Woza Matrics is a free-to-air television initiative launched by Minister Angie Motshekga on August 25, following the academic disruptions caused by Covid-19.
Woza Matrics 2021 Catch Up Campaign, a supplementary remote learning support programme that seeks to benefit an estimated 1.3 million matriculants with learning continuity, catch up on curriculum learning, Grade 11 and matric revision, as well as examination preparation, is led by the Department of Basic Education (DBE).
Other partners include the National Education Collaboration Trust and the Education, Training and Development for Practice Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA). The campaign is implemented as a growing national network of remote and digital learning partners.

Active partnerships and collaborations, DBE and Provincial Education Department involvement and guidance, integrated matric voices, interactive lessons, including sign language and engaged subject specialists were critical success factors in 2020.
Lessons learnt from 2020 include the strengthening of links to existing initiatives, as well as enhancing teacher and parent support and the building of curriculum content base and better learning resources.
Motshekga said: “This initiative has come at the right time when we are working to get schooling back on track. It is abundantly clear that additional support is required for learners and we will continue to provide this. Woza Matrics will give learners the support they need to prepare for the 2021 National Senior Certificate examinations.”
Covid-19 has brought trauma and stress to teachers, learners and parents. Woza Matrics has demonstrated the benefit of broad-based collaboration between the public and private sector in addressing critical educational needs.
