JOHANNESBURG – Teachers’ unions accuse the Department of Basic Education of punishing students for not passing the examination process.
The department announced earlier this week that all matrices will have to rewrite the tests for Test Two in Mathematics and Physical Science. Both documents were leaked on the eve of the exam last month.
The Hawks and the department’s investigation team investigating the leak have so far tracked down about 200 students involved in the leak.
South Africa’s National Organization of Professional Teachers said it is unacceptable that all enrollees have to suffer the consequences of poor decisions made by a few.
Basil Manuel, from the organization, said that only the students implicated in the scandal of the leaks of the matrix test should have to rewrite the works.
“Only 200 have been found to have had access to the document. Now, punishing such a large number is an overreaction. If you simply focus on those who had the paper or the schools where the paper was, that will detract from the integrity of the exam. We are saying that the guilty should be punished, but not also the innocent, ”he said.
