DBE to release NSC exam results

The matric class of 2025 will be the centre of attention on Monday when the Department of Basic Education announces the official release of the national senior certificate exam results.

More than 920,000 candidates across the country took the final exams at the end of last year.

This makes it one of the largest national assessment processes undertaken.

Monday's announcement on the cohort's performance is the culmination of an extensive and tightly regulated examination, marking and quality assurance process.

Matriculant at Danville Park Girls’ High School in Durban, Lihle Mthalane said she has mixed emotions ahead of the matric results.

"I'm very nervous for the upcoming results. However, I know that my commitment and dedication, as well as my hard work towards my studies, will definitely show in my results. But the nerves are still very much there," said Mthalane.

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube said she's confident the class of 2025 had a good run.

“I want to say to you, congratulations for coming this far, for your discipline, for your effort, for your resilience. You ought to be so proud of yourself. And to those who may not have achieved the results that they are hoping for, I want to remind you, this is not the end of the road or the journey for you. You can try again, and there are multiple opportunities for you to be able to do that."
