Matric exam rewrite scrapped
Share
Pretoria â Next week s proposed rewrite of the leaked maths 2 and physical science 2 exams are off the table.
The Gauteng High Court Pretoria on Friday ordered that none of these papers will be written on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Judge Norman Davis has reviewed and set aside the decision by Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga.
He said the decision, as it stands, for the exams to be written on 15 and 17 December, is one which no reasonable person would have taken, when all the facts are considered.
âThe attempted justification of these dates, furnished by the DG, in answer to all the prejudices raised by the applicants, that these prejudices suffered amount to a mere âinconvenienceâ or âsmokescreenâ smacks of carelessness,â the judge said.
