Final Examinations are never easy!!!

-
Matriculants are writing their final examinations and we all know that this is a very stressful time of the year to them. It is not only Matriculants who are faced with this situation but also many other students all over the country who are in universities and colleges. The pressure to pass can be overwhelming as extra attention it is really placed on them, be it from government, family, community  and even peers. 

 This is that time of the year where we are all tested on what we have been doing throughout the year. This season can bring on levels of stress and burnout that can hinder your studies.

 We are all stressed by these exams in different ways. It is important to manage this stress and find little ways to help you eliminate the risk of burnout.

 2019 hasn't been an easy year for all of us, from learners in lower grades like grade 1 where one of them were raped, young children not making it back from schools, learners in upper grades fighting and stabbing each other to death with sharp weapons and going to tertiary institutions where our sisters got lost and found dead, our teachers killed and our family members killed.  That can never be easy to deal with and now while we are still living in fear exams are here.

 We had a lot of cases this year of people who lost their lives to the killer enemy called Depression. 
A lot of students might see the rope as a solution to their stress that is brought by the exams. It was reported on Tuesday a student from University of Pretoria was found hanged on the door of his room.  We really need to do something about this. We cannot continue to lose our loved one's like this.
Every time when you feel overwhelmed and too much stressed speak with someone about it. It is not good for you to die in silent. The country still need people like you to make sure that they will change this country to be a better one.
Parents needs to check up on their children more often than ever in this season of Exams. It is known that every parent knows her child and if that's the case parents will be the best people to see when their children are stressed. 

 As peers support each other in every way possible to make sure that you all nail the exams together.
They are various support groups in the country at schools and clinics where you can get professional help.
All the best with the Exams and stay focused.

By: Surprise Golela @surprise_Golela surprisegolela98@gmail.com Mahlogonolo Phahlamohla founder of Masedi Education Projects  Mahlogonolo Phahlamohlaka is a young lady from the dusty streets of Marble Hall, Limpopo. She is the founder of Help Matriculate Centre (HMC) and Masedi Education projects. Phahlamohlaka has always had so much passion for education which today she stands to advocate for, through the organisation HMC she has managed to help thousands of learners apply for tertiary education. She did her first degree at the Witwatersrand University, which she says she did not like doing. "The time I finished my matric, mining was one of the sectors which had many jobs, and studying geology made sense to me at that time," said Phaahlamohlaka. She says she wanted to help matriculants, not to choose courses they do not want and also to help those who do not have finances to pay for application and registration fees. A block of classrooms that Phahlamohlaka is working on. ...

The 2019 Matriculants of South  Africa are very optimis tic  about their final exams, which are to start on Wednesday 23 October 2019. English first Additional language is the first main Exam to be written by the class of 2019. They are approximately about 790 405 pupils who will be writing the 2019 national senior certificate(NSC). The government has always been behind the pupils from day one offering the support they needed. The Matric candidates were encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them from the begin of the 2019 academic year so that they can develop themselves to be better citizens. The government had removed many barriers to education by introducing "no fee" schools and offering bursaries and study loans to students who want to study at institutions of higher learning. It was never an easy year, we had so many challenges this year at schools throughout the provinces of South Africa  more especially Gauten...
