One matric paper leak is bad enough - but the premature release of the Life Sciences assessment is our third data breach this month.
Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has confirmed that several investigations will be launched into the multiple leaks of matric papers during this exam season. He stated that the Life Sciences examination – which took place on Monday – was also compromised before students arrived for their tests earlier today.
ANOTHER MATRIC PAPER LEAK? LIFE SCIENCES EXAM NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION
This would complete an extremely embarrassing hat-trick for the Education Department, who have already seen significant Maths and Physical Science leaks undermine the credibility of this year’s matric evaluations. In a year that posed the most difficult challenges, students are now confronting an entirely different threat.
Speaking at a media conference, Lesufi stated that the matter would soon be turned over to the Hawks, who would probe the infiltration of these matric papers in due course. He defended the administrative teams behind this year’s examination schedule and vowed that the ‘integrity of the assessments’ would not be compromised.
PANYAZA LESUFI ON THE ASSESSMENT ‘LEAK’
“The department has launched investigations into the leaking of three exam papers. The latest one is Life Sciences and the team is working on that one. These are national papers and the national minister [Angie Motshekga] is responsible for the exam, but we are worried that there are people who think they can undermine the credibility of the exam."
“The exam remains intact. Our invigilators have been working hard in ensuring a smooth administration of our matric examinations, and making sure that the integrity is not compromised”
