Good Luck To All Matric Students!


The DA wishes each of the matric students beginning their final exams today the best of luck. They carry South Africa’s hopes for a brighter future on their shoulders.

These learners are well and truly new-generation South Africans, having not only spent their entire school careers in a post-apartheid schooling system, but also being the first group of learners to have progressed through all the grades under the new curriculum.

For these reasons they, and their teachers, have been charting new territory. The many thousands of learners who have now reached the point of writing their final exams deserve praise for their hard work and perseverance under often very difficult conditions.

Matric is the starting point for any young South African who wants to take advantage of the opportunities that South Africa offers, to develop his or her own skills, and to make a contribution to building a better country.

Good Luck Great People!!!!
