No glitches during examinations

GAUTENG Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi expressed sincere gratitude to all officials, learners and parents for a successful 2016 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination process.

November 29 marked the last day of the NSC examinations, and marking of the papers commenced on November 11, and will end on December 15.

“This year, we have not experienced any form of irregularities due to a more coordinated approach in the management and administration of the examination in the province. Exam materials were successfully escorted to nodal points on time.

“The province also administered common examinations for the second time this year. The common examinations also proceeded smoothly with no reported incidents. Any technical issues that did not affect the credibility of the examinations were dealt with,” explained MEC Lesufi.

The Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshekga will release the results on January 4 next year, while the Gauteng Provincial Government will release the results on January 5.

“We would also like to advise parents that the online registration system is closed. Parents who still have to confirm offers of placement should do so as a matter of urgency, failing which they will lose those offers. The department is now finalising the enrolment processes and the districts will continue to assist parents with placements where space may still be available and this might not be close to where their parents work or reside. Priority is, however, given to those who applied on time,” said MEC Lesufi.
