Matric 2022| Exams in Mpumalanga going well despite schools being damaged by storms 

The Mpumalanga Department of Education says that it is satisfied that the ongoing examinations both internally and externally. This is after some schools in the province were affected by heavy floods on Friday.

The Department said that the exams are proceeding without major challenges in all the schools.

“Heavy storms last  Friday evening affected  Ehlanzeni and Gert Sibande Districts.”

The Department extends its appreciation to the members of School Governing Bodies and parents who volunteered their time and services to clear the damaged areas and for cleaning affected  schools.         

The Department said it will monitor developments very closely and will work with the relevant departments and stakeholders for a lasting solution to fix the damaged properties.

Last week, MEC of Education in the province, Bonakele Majuba said the the community protests hindered some of the learners from writing exams. 

“ The community protests here, sadly hindered some learners from realising their goals of writing,” said Majuba.

The Department of Basic Education is yet to make a decision regarding learners who missed the exams due to community protests.
