School: NCEC

As a pupil at N.C.E.C. the student/resident is afforded the best possible care and education available. They are given the opportunity to complete their matriculation whilst recovering from their addiction. This process may take two years – a year in which, the student, completed three matric subjects, and then sits the examinations, a further year in which the remaining three subjects are completed. This course in particularly advisable if the student has only a Grade 6, 7 or 8. In other cases Grade 11 and 12 may be completed in one year. This is dependent on the stage of educational development the particular student has reached.

The central issue is that N.C.E.C. provides an ideal educative process for the recovering addict. The relatively small class groups ensure that the student benefits from individual tuition in all subjects.

The teachers are dedicated and passionate about the subjects they teach.

A concluding incentive is that most schools are reluctant, and at times adamantly refuse to allow admission to a student who has a drug dependency history. The N.C.E.C,obviously does not consider this aspect a negative factor, and is there primarily to serve such students.

It is for the above-mentioned reasons that we urge you to consider enrolling your child in our program until he/she has completed their matriculation.  After all, finally achieving, and finishing any course of action is a vital step in the recovery process. It must, however, be stipulated that if a pupil misbehaves so badly that he/she is sent on discipline time and again we reserve the right to withdraw, said pupil, from school. They would be required to repeat the year of study. This is in the interests of not only the said pupil, but also protects those pupils who are applying themselves.
