The South African Democratic Teachers’ Union has welcomed quality assurer Umalusi’s disclosure of the adjustments to the 2010 matric exams.

Umalusi yesterday denied that it had cooked the books to achieve a seven-percent improvement in last year’s pass rate.

Bowing to pressure months after the results were released, chairperson Sizwe Mabizela lashed out at those who attacked the standardisation process.

He says it has been standard practice since 1918.

“We welcome the information and thank all our teachers and learners again for doing well in the 2010 matric results.

“We call upon all our teachers, parents and learners to focus on the work facing us and continue to improve the learner achievement, said Mabizela.
