The Western Cape Education Department has urged matriculants to make use of its Mental Health support services as they prepare for and approach their end-of-year exams.

Education MEC, Debbie Schäfer says each of the province’s education districts has a Specialised Learner and Educator Support team to assist learners during this stressful time.

She says parents and learners can also contact the WCED’s Safe Schools call-centre to be directed to mental-health care services.
