Much has been made in the media of the (un)fairness of rewriting matric maths and physical science paper 2, as announced by the Department of Basic Education in response to both papers being leaked. Teacher unions declared that a rewrite is unfair to pupils, citing the psychological toll in an already extremely stressful year and the small proportion of pupils who were likely to have seen the leaked papers.
The department has defended the decision, saying the integrity of the examination process must be defended “at all costs”. The issue came to a head in the North Gauteng High Court on Friday, 11 December 2020, with the judiciary siding with the unions. But what neither the defence nor the applicants mentioned in their arguments is how exam leaks were predictable in a year wracked by Covid-19, as was the double-down response from the department with a rewrite: both events point to fundamental flaws in the system.
The election of Joe Biden as the next president of the United States, at the expense of Donald Trump’s bid for a second term, is undoubtedly a ray of hope for multilateralists. The Trump administration was a divisive edifice with no clear policy direction, save for satisfying Trump’s atavistic desires for untrammelled power, domination and fealty. He won the surprise 2016 election by appealing to the baser instincts of human nature, deflecting responsibility for one’s problem onto a perceived threat.
In terms of America’s economic and employment challenges, Trump blamed it on his predecessor’s alleged incompetence and China’s unfair trade benefits. He vowed to get American jobs back from China and to make sure that he would punish China for what he said was China’s gaming of the international system.
