How Makhanda's GADRA school gives matrics a second chance

JOHANNESBURG — The GADRA Matric School in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) has quickly become the biggest feeder school to Rhodes University. The school only focuses on learners who have previously done matric and essentially gives them a second chance to get a bachelor's pass. But as the school's Dr Ashley Westaway explains to us in this interview, he sees the school as being more of a bridging school, and its strong reputation has resulted in learners from all across the country flocking to it to better their results. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
