The matric final examinations are due to start this week  on  Thursday, November 5 and end on December 15.

The Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has wished the 2020 matriculants well in their final exams.

The examinations will start on November 5 and end on December 15.

She says 2020 was not a good year for anyone, however the learners must strive to do their best.

“I wish them well and they should know that they are a special class. They are a unique class of 2020 where there is Covid. They are a special class, they must focus and do their best. They are not an ordinary class.”

Largest public examination

Last month, while addressing giving an update on key developments in the basic education sector relating to the Covid-19 level 1 restrictions, Motshekga said the combined examination makes this the largest public examination that has been administered in the country.

A total of 1 058 699 candidates will sit for the examinations.

“We certainly have never had to manage a number that large before. It is going to be a huge task, but one that we will need to ensure is managed and coordinated smoothly. All examination centres, both public and independent have been audited in preparation for the 2020 combined examination,” She says.


We   wish the class of 2020 a good luck for their final exams.

She did her first degree at the Witwatersrand University, which she says she did not like doing. "The time I finished my matric, mining was one of the sectors which had many jobs, and studying geology made sense to me at that time," said Phaahlamohlaka. She says she wanted to help matriculants, not to choose courses they do not want and also to help those who do not have finances to pay for application and registration fees.

The government has always been behind the pupils from day one offering the support they needed. The Matric candidates were encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them from the begin of the 2019 academic year so that they can develop themselves to be better citizens.
