The deadline for registrations for the 2025 Second Chance Matric Programme is fast approaching on 7 February 2025. This presents a golden opportunity for South Africans to enhance their matriculation results with dedicated support.
Whether you fell short in previous attempts or aim to improve your matric results in specific subjects, the Second Chance Matric Programme (SCMP) offers a pathway to academic success and a brighter future.
The Second Chance Matric Programme is a matric rewrite programme that was established in 2016 for learners who would like to improve their results or eventually complete their matric qualification on a part-time basis.
What is the Second Chance Matric Programme?
The Department of Basic Education (DBE) facilitates the SCMP, providing comprehensive support to learners through:
- Face-to-face classes: In-person instruction for interactive learning.
- Online programs: Flexible learning options for those with internet access.
- Television and radio broadcasts: Accessible learning resources for a wider audience.
Furthermore, matric candidates receive free government-issued resource packs to aid in their exam preparation.

Matric Rewrite vs. Second Chance Matric Programme: What's the Difference?
- Matric Rewrite: Allows candidates to rewrite one or more failed subjects.
- Second Chance Matric Programme: A broader program encompassing those who:
- Failed their matric exams.
- Dropped out of school.
- Were unable to complete their matric for various reasons.
The SCMP offers a more comprehensive approach to matric rewrites through diverse revision opportunities, including physical classes, online and radio lessons. This holistic approach is particularly beneficial for adults and out-of-school learners seeking to attain their matric qualification.
Benefits of the SCMP
- Flexible Learning: Study at your own pace with part-time options.
- Valuable Resources: Access free government-issued resource packs and guidance.
- Overcome Past Challenges: Achieve academic success and unlock future opportunities.
