MESSAGE OF SUPPORT TO MATRICULANTS
AS THEY SIT FOR FINAL YEAR EXAMINATIONS
It is that time of the year during which we all pray and wish the Matriculants everything of the best for their examinations. The Educators have done their bit and it is now up to the Learners to demonstrate that the efforts of their Educators will bear positive results. We are aware that in many instances the 2018 Academic Year has been filled with many challenges and such challenges have in fact been the very impetus and the drivers of our success. The poor backgrounds of many Matriculants should not in any way determine their future. Never be held bondage to the historical past – shape your future by working hard and realise that it is only through education that the future can be made brighter for all.
As you are now sitting for your final year examinations, there are many choices facing you in terms of pursuing your studies – you can go to: Traditional or Comprehensive or Universities of Technology or you could even consider going to TVET Colleges. The choice is wide and TVET Colleges provide and ensure immediate job opportunities after completion of your studies and it is in this regard that the fulfilment of the Post School Education comes to light.
Never allow nay – sayers to stand in your way. The future without education is bleak and dim. Get that education whilst time is on your side. Our Country is desperately in need, not only of educated people but equally of ethical leadership. It is through education that our Country can be recognised, as one of the best, not only in the Continent but equally so, in the whole world. Getting that Matric Certificate assures you of a stepping stone into the brighter future.
Whilst we all pray for the success of the Grade 12 candidates, we are nonetheless painfully aware that there are those who may not make it and to such candidates, we want to make a special appeal as early as now NEVER TO COMMIT SUICIDE, just because one has failed. Failure gives you an opportunity to polish up your work for the next examinations. No matter what plans you may have had which have now been thwarted by your inability to make it through Matric DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF to the extent of Committing Suicide!! Failure should not be considered as the end of the world. Trying again will ensure that you get the fulfilment of your dreams and will make your family and the Country happy. NEVER Give-Up!!!
The above having been said, at the Vaal University of Technology, we wish the Matric Class of 2018, all the best with its Examinations and accordingly asking you to consider VUT as your number one choice University for 2019.
Good Luck and Write Well!
