MATRICS, the time has come to keep those exam numbers handy to get your results! On Friday, January 21, the matric class of 2021 will receive its National Senior Certificate examination results.
All learners will be able to access their Grade 12 results from 06:00 or collect them from their respective schools from 08:00. IEB (Independent Examinations Board) matrics would have already had access to matric results from Wednesday, January 19.
