Student claims college wrongly failed her
She told the Courier that she tried several times to contact the college about her N6 results but she was told that she had failed.
Gross negligence is a legal concept which means serious carelessness made by officials or staff members in a work place.
Nomasonto Gugulethu Mayisa of Nquthu believes she was a victim of gross negligence while she was a student at a college in Dundee.
In 2013 she was studying financial accounting N5, sales management N6, and computer practice N4.
Nomasonto said she was shocked when she received her results and discovered that she had failed N6 and passed N4 and N5.
“In 2014 I decided to stay at home and was advised to upgrade the lessons that I had failed in. I went to a certain college in Ladysmith where they felt that they must contact the education department in Pretoria to investigate my N6 results before I enrolled,” Nomasonto said.
She told the Courier that she tried several times to contact the college about her N6 results but she was told that she had failed.
In July 2015, Nomasonto received her results from the Department of Education in Pretoria telling her that she has passed her N6 which included Business management, sales management, computers and accounting.
The college was contacted for comment and promised that they would be investigating.
