Cape Town - With the countdown to the release of the final matric results next week, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag) will host a live question-and-answer session for anxious parents and pupils.
“Ask the Expert” chat will take place on Friday at 1pm.
The aim of the conversation is to support pupils and equip parents and teachers with practical ways to navigate increasing nerves, what to do when the results are released, and look at the way forward.
“If you are a parent or loved one of a student who is anxious and concerned about the upcoming results, don’t miss this discussion.
“Experts Educational Psychologist Dr Elzette Fritz and Clinical Psychologist, Ryan Cooper, will be answering questions on how learners, parents, teachers, and loved ones can better prepare for the release of Matric Results. Ask real-time questions online for our experts to answer. Don’t miss out,” Sadag said.
The matric exams came to an end on December 8.
Over 3 300 matric paper markers in the Western Cape marked 870 000 scripts.
The national matric results will be announced on January 19, and the release of results to schools and candidates the following day.
“Ask the Expert” will take place via Sadag’s Facebook page
