“And this is a cause for great concern. And there might be some reasons for this. Which the department has not adequately addressed, such as teenage pregnancy, employment, poverty and drugs as well as criminal matters which is also affecting learners in their terrain of education.”The 2022 Matric results are set to be released this week. Over 900 000 matriculants wrote the exam, a 3% increase from the 2021 participants, comprising full-time and part-time learners from all nine provinces.
Scores of matric learners are waiting impatiently for their results. Close to a million matriculants set for last year’s examinations. However, not all of them will be present to celebrate the release of the results. “Our appeal, therefore, is that the people of our country just rally behind our students and their parents as they will be making choices about their future and give them the support that they require. As the people of this particular country, let us continue to be supportive of our teachers, our students, and our schools in order to improve the quality of our examination outcomes, in particular the matric results.
