CIRCULAR 13/2023
TO: NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
PROVINCIAL DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH
NURSING EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS (NEIs)
ALL STAKEHOLDERS
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON PROFESSIONAL ENTRANCE EXAMINATION TO BE CONDUCTED IN 2024
- PURPOSE
The purpose of this Circular is to update the National Department of Health, Provincial Departments of Health, Nursing Education Institutions (NEIs) and relevant stakeholders about the examination venues where the Professional Entry Examination (PEE) will be conducted in 2024.
- BACKGROUND
- The South African Nursing Council (SANC) issued Circular 14/2022 on 8 November 2022 and indicated that the Council in its meeting held on 22-23 September 2022, resolved that accredited NEIs should serve as Examination Centres in all the provinces for the 2023 Examination Cycle whilst the process of sourcing neutral venues by the SANC is underway. This implies that the Professional Entrance Examination will be conducted at the NEI where the student was enrolled for the programme for the examination cycle of 2023.
- Due to the challenges experienced by the SANC when sourcing for neutral venues, the examination venues used for the current examination cycle 2023 will also be used in 2024.
The SANC will be holding a consultative workshop in early 2024 to discuss the matter of examination venues.
- The PEE will be conducted in line with the examination schedule published as per Circular 12/2023.
- IMPLICATIONS
- This Circular should be brought to the attention of the students.
- IMPLEMENTATION
This Circular becomes implementable and valid from the date of issue. For further information in respect of this Circular you are advised to contact Ms MA Mnguni, Senior Manager: Learner Affairs at 012 420 1065 or [email protected]
