Only a few hours remain before learners of the matric class of 2021 get to know their fate as their matric results are due to be released on Friday.
The Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga will announce the 2021 National Senior Certificate (NSC) at a ceremony held at the SABC’s studios in Johannesburg on Thursday even at 18:00.
The matric results announcement will include information about the pass rate at the national level as well as in the country’s nine provinces. The Department had initially decided not to publish the results on public platforms citing the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
However, the Pretoria High Court ruled that it would be in the interest of the learners to access their results immediately following an urgent court application lodged by lobby group AfriForum.

More than 735 000 full-time as well as over 162 109 part-time candidates sat for the National Senior Certificate Examinations in 2021.
The Minister along with her Deputy Makgabo Reginah Mhaule, is currently hosting the country’s top achievers at a breakfast session at The Houghton Hotel, in Houghton.
