The Education Department and Police are investigating the leak of matric papers following the arrest of three people, in Nelspruit earlier this week.

Two learners and a teacher have been found in possession of Mathematics papers 1 and 2, Physical Science papers 1 and 2 and an accounting paper.

The three suspects appeared in court in Mpumalanga yesterday and their case has been postponed until the 13th of next month.

The Department of Basic Education say necessary steps are being taken to ensure the integrity of matric examinations.

The department says backups are being prepared for every scheduled paper as part of its examination management plan.

The national senior certificate exams begin on Monday.
