The Department of Basic Education (DBE) says it has noted the Pretoria High Court ruling regarding the release of the National Senior Certificate examination results on media platforms.
DBE Spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga says, “The Department will abide by the ruling. This means that the Department will make available
the results to stakeholders who requested access.”
Mhlanga stated that the conditions of the court ruling must betaken into account in line with the provisions of the Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013.
“In addition to accessing results from media platforms, the Department also urges candidates
to register on the website to view the results when they become available.”
Mhlanga says candidates will have to go through a two-step verification process before receiving confirmation of their registration.
“A 13-digit ID number and Exam Number will be required for registration. The DBE website is zero-rated, which means it can be accessed whether you have data or not.”
Mhlanga stated that more than 30,000 people hade successfully registered on the platform.
