This decision is a foundational step in shaping both their academic path and future career opportunities, says Wonga Ntshinga, Senior Head of Programme: Faculty of ICT at The Independent Institute of Education, South Africa’ s largest and most accredited private higher education provider. |
According to Ntshinga, while subject selection can feel overwhelming, it is a crucial process that will influence academic performance and future options. Therefore, it’ s essential that students carefully consider their choices, taking into account their individual strengths and interests. |
“ The subjects you select for Grade 10 to 12 will influence your performance in the National Senior Certificate( NSC) exams. These choices will also affect your eligibility for further studies and certain career paths. |
“ The transition from Grade Nine to Grade 10 is significant because your subject combination lays the groundwork for your future academic and professional opportunities. By choosing wisely, you can position yourself for success in Matric while maintaining flexibility for your post-school plans,” Ntshinga says. |
