Catch up campaign for matriculants on radio
Starting today, Tuesday, 27 July 2010, all SABC public service radio stations will participate in the SABC Radio Schools Catch Up campaign to develop a culture and attitude that promotes quality teaching and learning, re-ignite a school spirit amongst matriculants and assist them in preparation for upcoming examinations to improve final matric results.
This World cup legacy campaign gives learners and teachers an opportunity to engage on live radio learning class. The programme consists of 45-minute slots across stations in the early evenings. Learners and teachers are encouraged to take part in this initiative by calling any of the following radio stations:
- Munghana Lonene
- Phalaphala
- Thobela
- Ikwekwezi
- Ukhozi
- Lotus
- Ligwalagwala
- Motsweding
- RSG
- SAFM
- Lesedi
- Radio 2000
- TruFM
- Umhlobo Wenene
The stations will offer this service in the 11 official languages nationwide. Subjects to be tackled daily include accounting, mathematics, science, business studies, English, economics and agricultural sciences.
This campaign, endorsed by the SABC, SABC Education and the Ministry of Education is a partnership with the Department of Education and entails the identification of educators who are specialists in critical subjects to conduct on air lessons through PBS radio stations.
