Matrics get ready to start writing exams in November

The countdown has begun for more than one-million candidates to begin their matric exams on November 5 with all hygiene protocols observed.

The exams should have begun in October but have been postponed to November to allow for more of the curriculum to be covered, basic education minister Angie Motshekga said at a media briefing on Thursday. Schools were disrupted by the Covid-19 lockdown, which began at the end of March, and have only been operating for four months on a rotational or platooning basis, with the result that on some days some learners are not at school.

Motshekga said a directive would be published soon on the non-contact sports and training that would be allowed to resume.
