JOHANNESBURG – The Minister for Basic Education, Angie Motshekga, has issued new guidelines and protocols before the correction of the matriculation exam scripts.
The guidelines are intended to provide guidance to officials, educators, and administration personnel involved in exam grading, as well as other functions related to the completion of results for the class of 2020.
Marking will take place at more than 180 centers across the country and more than 45,000 markers have been designated.
The new instructions follow President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement on Monday that the country would move to level 3 lockdown regulations.
On Friday, spokesman Elijah Mhlanga said the tagging was expected to start on Monday.
“We urgently need to strengthen our security protocols in the marking centers because that is the task we face.”
At the same time, Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi wants the Independent Examining Board to withdraw its court case against Umalusi.
Lesufi said Thursday that the IEB had approached the courts arguing that it could not pay for the evaluation services offered by Umalusi.
But Lesufi said that if his candidacy was successful, students in rural areas and municipalities would end up heavily subsidizing the wealthy.
“There is no way we can allow South African money to be used to finance IEB clients in Mozambique, Namibia and eSwatini. We believe that the days of two separate review bodies in our country will come to an end. “
