"They're Great": Woman Shares University of Pretoria's Free Resources for Grade 12, SA Impressed

• The University of Pretoria's JuniorTukkie platform gives high school learners free access to revision materials
• Grade 8 to 12 students can access free video lessons, study guides and hands-on practice at no cost
• A TikTok clip highlighting the free resource quickly caught the attention of South African students and parents

A South African TikToker is helping high school learners discover a free academic resource that many did not know existed. On 2 October, @theshaya1826 posted a selfie-style clip pointing followers to JuniorTukkie Online, a free revision platform run by the University of Pretoria.

The platform targets learners from Grade 8 to Grade 12 and covers subjects that many students find most challenging, including Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Accounting. According to the video, JuniorTukkie gives learners access to video lessons, study guides and hands-on practice questions, all without a subscription fee or tuition cost.

The timing of the clip by @theshaya1826 is no coincidence. With matric exam season approaching and many families unable to afford private tutoring, the post filled a gap for students looking for reliable study support. The video about JuniorTukkie quickly gained traction, with many viewers tagging friends and classmates who could benefit from the resource. For learners preparing for matric rewrites or year-end exams, the platform offers a way to supplement classroom learning at their own pace. Watch the TikTok clip that got South Africa talking:
