The matric class of 2022 was in Grade 10 when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. The Department of Basic Education says it is worried about how they will perform. | TebogoMonama
As a result of the pandemic and disruptions to the education system, the Department of Basic Education was forced to revise the syllabus so they could be promoted.
"The prelim exams were the first exams they wrote. We are worried because what this class has gone through, no other class has [been] through in the history of the exam. We need to support them in any way we can. Parents must also do their part in terms of supporting them."Probe into claims that pupils on school trip slept in parking lot as teachers partied the night away
While they are the first group to write exams in two years with no Covid-19 restrictions, the biggest problem hanging over the examinations is load shedding and whether it will not cause disruptions. Mhlanga said load shedding was not a big worry as exams are done during the day."The problem is studying. Learners need to adjust their lives around that."
This year, 923 460 matric candidates are registered for the NSC certificate. An additional 13 567 candidates will sit for the Independent Examination Board assessments.
