Second Chance Matric Programme
Free Matric Rewrite
Matric results can have a massive impact on what you do after school. If your matric exam results are not
to your liking or you feel you can do better, you have the option to rewrite.
Matric rewrites are helpful to individuals who may have failed or did not get the marks needed to get
into a higher education institution or programme they wanted.
You can register to rewrite matric subjects if you want to improve your results.
The Second Chance Matric Programme of the Department of Basic Education provides support to learners who
