Johannesburg - An exam leak scandal has rocked Unisa for the second time this year. This time over 17 modules have been compromised and leaked just before students sit for their final examinations. But the distance learning institution insists that its assessments can still be trusted.
Spokesperson Martin Ramotshela said: “While we acknowledge this challenge, we are of the firm view that the overall examination process remains reliable and intact. There were 2077 question papers being written by 298662 students. “A total of 1 235 892 examinations are scheduled to be written during this session. With the exception of the modules above, all others were written without any hiccups. We have now strengthened our internal control systems to ensure that the remainder of the exams proceed smoothly.”
The first time the question papers were leaked was during the May/June examination in the human sciences, economics and management sciences, and accounting sciences colleges.
