President Jacob Zuma has congratulated the matric class of 2014 but has however raised his concern regarding allegations of copying and cheating.
The Department of Basic Education is
investigating 28 exam centres in KwaZulu Natal and 16 in the Eastern Cape
President Zuma in a statement said the
allegations must be investigated thoroughly so that we do not experience a
recurrence.
Presidential Spokesperson Mac Maharaj said President
Zuma added that the fifth democratic administration will continue to position
education as an apex priority because we believe that a country that invests in
education, invests in its future.
Maharaj said that we urge the young people
to take advantage of the opportunities at universities, Technical and
Vocational Training Colleges (formerly known as Further Education and Training
ET colleges) and community colleges to further their studies.
“For those who did not pass, it is not the
end of the world. They can do better this year in the supplementary
examinations and in many matric rewrite centres and still go on to achieve
their dreams” Maharaj added.
