Concessions

Assistance is given to learners who have been identified as possibly having some form of a learning barrier, such as a reading problem, dyslexia or any other learning barrier identified by the WCED as a possible reason for a concession during tests and examinations to ensure that the learner is not disadvantaged.

A very detailed process according to specifications from the Department is followed. The following requirements should be adhered to in the case of a suspected learning difficulty:

• Outside professional assessment/report
• Collateral information proving history of the difficulty
• Completed documentation (provided by the school)
• Proof of previous intervention
