The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) confirmed that numbers relating to the National Senior Certificate (NSC) will be released tomorrow, determining statistics and the number of exam centres etc.

Spokesperson Kerry Mauchline called on candidates to place enough emphasis on preparing for their finals as the days drew closer.

“We have over 67000 full-time matric candidates writing this year, and their matric teachers, tutors and officials have been hard at work preparing our candidates for the final hurdle of their school careers,” she said.
