CAPE TOWN - The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) said it was encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by matric pupils who attended winter holiday classes.
Over 21,000 matric learners attended the #BackOnTrack classes across eight education districts in the province.
Pupils told the department that the extra lessons had made a big difference, as a change in environment brought excitement to the classrooms.
MEC for the Education Department, David Maynier, said matrics would continue with extra classes during the term, starting from this coming weekend.
"Extra classes for grade 4 and 7 learners will take place on selected weekends later in the term. We also held intensive #BackOnTrack mathematics training for grade 10 and 11 teachers during the holidays, with 95 teachers attending across the two grades."
