Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House-
(1) notes that 26 October 2009 will mark the official commencement of the 2009 National Senior Certificate Examination; (2) further notes that acquiring the Senior Certificate represents a very important qualification for young people in that it gives them the option of going to a university or Further Education and Training (FET) College where they can pursue various careers and contribute to building a successful country and economy;
(3) recognises that many of the Grade 12 learners have been learning under the most trying circumstances, but the fact that they are now preparing for this examination says much of their character and determination;
(4) reminds all Grade 12 learners that their parents, families and communities support them and stand by them as they prepare for the examinations;
(5) urges the Grade 12 learners not to take their eye off the ball but to stay focused and use the final few days to go over subject areas they are unsure of and be proud of the fact that they have made it this far and have confidence in their ability to overcome this last hurdle; and
(6) wishes 2009 matriculants and tertiary students success in their examinations.
Agreed to.
