As the country approaches the end of the 2024 final exam period, we congratulate NSC, NC(V), GETC: ABET, and N3 candidates on reaching this important stage of their schooling life. We urge learners to celebrate their achievements responsibility, in a manner that reflects dignity and respect for themselves, their parents, and the community. We further urge them to avoid celebrations that may lead to tragic incidents.

[Watch]: Umalusi spokesperson Mr Biki Lepota engaged Newzroom Afrika about the South African Comprehensive Assessment Institute's (SACAI) Geography Paper 2, which had errors worth 68 marks [not 79 marks as reported in the media]. He clarified that the paper that had been distributed was not the final approved paper but the pre-approved version of the paper. Umalusi is pleased that within an hour of discovering the mistake, SACAI implemented a process to administer the correct question paper… Video Credit: Newzroom Afrika #NationalExams2024 #NSC2024 #MatricExams2024 #MakoyaCertificates

Know Your Umalusi | One of our responsibilities is to ensure the development of new qualifications and their underpinning curricula. Did You Know? The first Marine Sciences Grade 12 examination was written in November 2021. This happened after Umalusi subjected the curriculum to rigorous quality assurance processes. This subject is now included in the suite of subjects for the National Senior Certificate (NSC) qualification. Offering Marine Sciences as a subject in the NSC qualification will go a long way in contributing to the South African government’s intention to grow the Ocean Economy. #UmalusiCertificates #MakoyaCertificate #UmalusiServices
