The Western Cape Department of
Education has completed an investigation into indications of cheating during
the 2014 matric exams at a private college in Athlone.
The WCED’s Paddy Attwell said the
investigation found that candidates participated and were helped in copying in
nine papers covering seven subjects.
Attwell says the subjects included
Physical sciences, Life sciences and Maths amongst others. The investigators
audited every paper written at the Athlone campus, they also interviewed
teachers and candidates.
He added that the investigation
involved about 46 candidates who have not yet received their matriculation
results. The irregularities committee will consider findings of the
investigation before recommending further steps.
Meanwhile the National Department of
Education is also investigating a cheating scandal in three provinces.
