The SA National Editors’ Forum (Sanef) has expressed surprise at the department of basic education’s last-minute decision - without consultation - to scrap the publication of matric results in the media.

The department of basic education instructed media not to publish the 2021 matric results. File photo.The SA National Editors’ Forum has expressed surprise at the department of basic education’s last-minute decision — without consultation — to scrap the publication of matric results in the media.

“This comes at a time when media companies are facing a financial crunch as the result of Covid-19. Therefore, we would have preferred prior engagement from the department on how best to manage the publication of the 2021 matric results.” “To not allow media houses to publish the 2021 matric results is not only unfortunate but also came as a surprise to Sanef as there was no prior warning or consultation. It must be made clear that we welcome and fully support the application and the intentions of the act — to safeguard the protection of personal information of individuals,” said Sanef.

TOM EATON | So what if half a million kids are dumped? It’s just numbers, like the pass markThe education minister would have us believe the matric pass mark is higher than 30%. Who am I to question her? ❤🙂💕 SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 500M AND 500 CM. NO CURE FOR DUMB AND STUPID. NO WONDER OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS SUCH A DISASTER. This Department is abusing the rights of a proper education for all for POLITICAL GAIN. WHEN THE AVERAGE STUDENT IS DECLARED INCAPABLE OF EMPLOYMENT THEY ARE GOING TO BLAME THE STUDENTS.
