Interpreting Matric Results

It is important to understand what options your child has, and the type of opportunities that can help you support them as they make their own decisions, and what the child may want to do in terms of the school and career development opportunities available for them.

There are different types of levels of achievement once the learner has completed their Grade 12 and it is important that as parents you know the implications of these levels.
