Education MEC hopes for no more disruptions as Matric exams begin

With the constant threat of load shedding, Education MEC Debbie Schafer has called on Eskom to do everything it can to prevent blackouts. She said the Department of Basic Education is engaging with Eskom in the hope of preventing power supply disruption this year.

Schafer said that the department was also concerned about protests which were usually more frequent in election years.

The Western Cape Education Department , grade 12 learners couldn't afford any more disruptions especially with the effect of covid on schooling.

Exams started yesterday, with more than 10,000 learners across the province completing their Computer Applications Technology practical.
