“The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.”– Nelson Mandela.

In celebration of Mandela’s life’s work and commitment to education, Matric Works is taking Madiba’s legacy forward by giving 15 South African adults, who have not been able to complete their matric, the chance to do so free of charge.

Each competition winner will be given access to the Matric Works subjects of their choice, allowing them to study towards the nationally-recognised Amended Senior Certificate (ASC) (an equivalent to the Grade 12 National Senior Certificate) examinations online.

Competition timeline:

The #Matric4Madiba competition launches on 18 June 2019 and runs until the end of Nelson Mandela Month, 31 July 2019. Winners will be announced in August 2019 and each competition winner will have access to the study material for three years.

“In South Africa, a matric certificate is a passport to a better future. It’s what you need to gain access to improved employment opportunities, and it’s the basic qualification you need to study further. We are excited to be able to honour Madiba’s legacy once again and change the lives of 15 South African adults this Nelson Mandela Month,” says Jackie Carroll, CEO of Media Works, the company that owns Matric Works.
