The Department of Education says it has received the report into the investigation of promotion requirements for the National Senior Certificate (NSC).
A ministerial task team was set up by Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga to establish from research and media reports the main criticisms against the matric certificate pass requirements.
“The ministerial task team has submitted the report and we are studying it,†said the department in a statement on Sunday.
The report found that although the examinations process has improved over the past few years, the NSC is not adequate in its current format.
The department said the recommendations will be taken through the normal policy processes before a decision on implementation can be made.
The minister will make further announcements in due course.
The report has been shared with MECs of education and is also available on the department’s website education.gov.za – SAnews.gov.za
