5. There were some irregularities (cheating) in the NSC exams, some schools in parts of Gauteng and KZN are implicated, it was mainly in the writing of Life Sciences and Agricultural Sciences, the cheating was mostly early access to papers and group copying, the results of such learners or schools will be blocked pending the final investigations.

6. The UMALUSI presenter also stated that for DBE results, 74% of subjects were left raw in 2020 but now in 2021 only 54% were left raw.

It was indeed a very tough year for our grade 12s and the effects of Covid19 is now becoming clearer as more subjects were adjusted upwards.
