Matric students final exams-Tutorials to be broadcast on free TV

The 12-week educational program on TV “Woza Matrics” will begin on September 1.

Woza Matrics’ contents will focus on major subjects including maths, life sciences, geography, physical science, accounting, economics, mathematical literacy, English first additional language, history and business studies.

The tutorials will be broadcast on free to air SABC3 which is on all DStv packages and on OpenView (Channel 122).
