Furthermore, they will have access to the study material for three years and will, therefore, have three opportunities to write their ASC exams, which take place between May and July every year. The cost of the exams at a registered exam centre will be sponsored by Star Schools, a supplementary education service provider that Media Works has partnered with to bring #Matric4Madiba to life.

Star Schools will also be offering free revision sessions to help winners prepare for their English, mathematics, physical science and life science exams. The initiative was inspired by Mandela’s belief in the power of education to transform the lives of individuals, families, communities, and societies.
