The basic education department is investigating another leak of a tuition exam questionnaire.
On Monday morning, Physical Science article 2 was leaked and distributed before the start of the exams.
This comes a week after the department announced that it was investigating the leak of Mathematics Document 2.
The department said the Council of Ministers of Education (CEM) held an urgent meeting on Monday afternoon to consider the implications of the latest developments following the leak of the Mathematics Document 2 and the Physical Sciences question documents.
Department spokesman Elijah Mhlanga said the investigations are at an advanced stage and details on the progress of the investigation will be made public in due course.
“In addition to this, the department has also sent teams to the provinces to recheck the security systems. The CEM expressed concern that the leaks were causing disruptions to a system already experiencing challenges due to Covid-19, ”Mhlanga said.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga said it was unfortunate that people continued to be involved in something like this, even though the consequences were dire.
Last week it emerged that candidates from eight of the nine provinces had access to the leaked math 2 document.
This was after Mhlanga received an email from a college student with the math questionnaire he received from four Gauteng tuition candidates.
