## Where the documents come from

The past papers and memos in the Hlayiso library are published by the Department of Basic Education (DBE), the nine provincial education departments and the Independent Examinations Board (IEB). The library also holds curriculum documents such as annual teaching plans and exam guidelines, study guides, and TVET college study guides.

Hlayiso also sets its own mock and prediction exams. Their document pages list Hlayiso as the publisher, so you can tell them apart from official papers. Downloads are the original PDF files.
