JOHANNESBURG – Gauteng Department of Education wishes all grade 8 to 12 learners in 470 Gauteng priority schools the best of luck as they begin their mid-year examinations.
These are schools which have been prioritised as needing additional support and tuition in the province. Learners in these schools will be writing common examination papers set at a provincial level in selected subjects.
The mid-year examinations are very important in that they serve as a practice session for learners to experience the examination conditions that they will face at the end of the year.
All systems are in place at these schools to ensure that these examinations run smoothly. The department has set up teams in all 15 districts to monitor that schools comply with requirements set up for these examinations.
The department would also like to wish learners well from schools, which are not categorised as priority schools and not required to write common examinations, as they will also be writing their mid-year examinations.
