Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy Opportunity

The Mathematics & Mathematical Literacy 8-subject package presents a valuable opportunity for learners striving to maintain their commitment to Mathematics while addressing concerns such as fear of failure, falling short of the minimum pass mark, or not meeting university admission requirements.
Often, learners opt to switch from Mathematics to Mathematical Literacy due to these concerns. While both subjects cannot be pursued simultaneously within the NSC 7-subject package, learners can opt for an 8th subject, Mathematical Literacy alongside Mathematics. Notably, only one of the subjects will be reflected on the NSC certificate, with Mathematics being the default choice if passed with 50% or more. Additionally, successful completion of Mathematical Literacy earns learners a subject certificate.
Please Note: This opportunity is not available to learners offering Physical Sciences because Mathematics is a compulsory paired subject offering.
