Western Cape is worried about possible disruptions to matric exams
The Western Cape Department of Education MEC, David Maynier, has called on the public to make sure that there are no disruptions to the matric exams in the province this year.
The exams will start on Tuesday with Computer Application and
Information Technology on Wednesday.
Maynier has expressed concern about the possible impact of
loadshedding on the exams.
The MEC says the province has contingency measures in place
in case of loadshedding during exams.
“The WCED appeals to everyone in the Western Cape to treat
matrics as the VIPs of the province for the next few weeks. We do not want to
see their futures compromised by the selfish actions of the few,” the department
said in a statement.
“We are also mindful of the impact of the ongoing load
shedding, and assure our matrics that we have the necessary protocols in place
for exams to continue in the case of both scheduled and unscheduled power
outages.”
