PURPOSE To present to the Portfolio Committee a report on the implementation of the Second Chance Matric Programme 3
INTRODUCTION – SECOND CHANCE PROGRAMME 4
PROBLEM STATEMENT The National Senior Certificate (NSC) is an absolute necessity for meaningful citizenry Despite the many intensified efforts by the Basic Education Sector to support more learners to achieve a National Senior Certificate, many leave school without this vital certification Some learners that don’t obtain their NSC qualify for supplementary examinations however the failure rate is high. Progressed learners have shown huge knowledge and skills gaps which prevents them from passing all 7 subjects at the end of the academic year. Secondary schools are not in a position to support those students who completely failed and exit the system with a partial NSC or without an NSC. 5
RETAIN MORE LEARNERS: NDP “South Africa loses half of every cohort that enters the school system by the end of the 12 year schooling period, wasting significant human potential and harming the life-chances of many young people. Secondary school completion rates are 77% in the United States, 87% (to the age of 16) in the UK and 93% in Japan. South Africa should aim for a comparable completion rate of between 80 – 90%. . . ” National Planning Commission: National Development Plan, November 2011 6
THE SECOND CHANCE PROGRAMME 7
AIM OF THE PROGRAMME To provide support to learners who have not been able to meet the requirements of the NSC thereby meeting the goals of the NDP and the sector by increasing learner retention 8
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT • According to statistics South Africa, young people constitute 41, 2% of the country’s population • According to the 2011 Census there were 3. 2 million NEETs (young people not employed, not in education and training) • The latest Quarterly Labour Force Survey shows that there are currently 3. 5 million NEETs • The number of persons aged 15 to 24 (NEETs) who have Grade 12 as their highest level of education attainment increased from 339 000 in 1996 to over 1 million in 2011. 9
PROJECT SCOPE Three phases viz. (i) Learners that qualify to write the supplementary (max 2 subjects) examinations to be piloted in 2016 in seven (7) subjects with a low achievement and high enrolment rate and in districts with large numbers of prospective learners (Examinations written in Feb/March) (ii) Progressed learners – out of school learners (pilot 2016) who will have multiple opportunities to complete the NSC, conditional to shelf life of the SBA. (Examinations written in May. June) (iii) Learners that failed to meet the NSC requirements which will be planned for in 2016 and rolled out in 2017. 10
