SABC Education has announced that the new season of multimedia curriculum programme Matrics Uploaded is extending its content support to cover grade 10 and 11 curricula in addition to grade 12 learning areas.
“Matric is the culmination of at least 13 years of education from grade 0 to 12 and to qualify for tertiary instruction you need good grades. Matrics Uploaded offers a full course of multimedia lessons across six core subjects; Physical Sciences, Mathematics, English First Additional Language, Life Sciences, Mathematical Literacy and Accounting,’ says Pontsho Makhetha, acting general manager at SABC Education.
Driven by South Africa’s top teachers and hosted by three funky presenters Amanda Manku, Nonhlanhla Ntuli, Mbuyiselo Khumalo and post-matric tutors, Matrics Uploaded is a fun interactive game-show where contestants from two competing schools view a lesson from screened subjects, and then battle it out to see which school can outwit the other and become champions for the week. The studio contestants and participating viewers stand a chance to win awesome prizes.
Matrics Uploaded 2012 also offers an extra resource feature of questions and answers on facebook. This allows learners to interact live with teachers from 6pm to 7pm on weekdays. The show is supported by lessons and questions which will be available for download on the revamped website launching on 20 February 2012.
“Learners can visit the new website www.sabc1.co.za/matrics and be able to view up to date lessons as they are broadcast on the homepage, they can easily navigate for previously broadcast lessons for revision on specific subjects. The downloaded lessons are also excellent for learners to test their knowledge on each learning strand,’ concludes Pontsho.
Matrics Uploaded is on SABC1 every weekday from 3pm to 4pm with repeats on SABC 1 from 5am to 6am.
