The Department of Basic Education
said it has noted concerns raised about a question in a Dramatic Arts paper in
the matric examinations which was written on Monday, but said it stands by its
decision to pose the question.
The pupils were asked to describe
how they would get an actor to maximise the horror of a rape of a baby, using a
broomstick and a loaf of bread as props.
Basic Education Spokesperson, Elijah
Mhlanga said we will take sample scripts from
across the provinces to establish if there were any students who were
negatively affected and if we find evidence of that we will then exclude the
question from and adjust the marking guidelines accordingly.
Mhlanga said this is a social issue
which Grade 12’s are fully aware of.
