October 22, 2025

THE final exams for the Matric Class of 2025 started on October 21. The outcome of these papers will determine the future of over 900 000 candidates.

A South African matric certificate serves as a prerequisite for future educational and career opportunities.

As the future leaders prepare themselves, however, others have to deal with a number of problems, some of which are beyond their control and may affect their performance in the matric exams.

Recent reports indicate that learners at some Gauteng schools may experience disruptions due to water and electricity disconnections caused by unpaid debt.
