Thousands of matric learners are starting their final exams on Monday as load shedding resumes across the country.
At least 717,377 matriculants in 6,898 centres will sit for their exams as the 2023 National Senior Certificate examinations begin.
A nationwide rollout of rooftop solar panels has also not begun. However, even that solution would not help some schools in major CBDs that rely on electricity as they have no access to direct sunlight. "There has been an increase in the number of part-time learners from 168,631 in 2022 to 181,143 in 2023. A total of 207 question papers, 72,500 invigilators and 52,500 markers will drive the examination process.
