Johannesburg - AfriForum Youth on Friday said it had
received overdue matric results from the department of basic education.
This was just before the organisation was about to bring
a court application against the department, chairperson Charl Oberholzer said
in a statement.
"About 14 learners had received their results and
can now embark on their plans for the future."
Oberholzer said AfriForum Youth had sent a letter to
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga on 21 January and education MECs in
the relevant provinces regarding matric results that still had not been
released.
On Thursday, the department released a detailed report on
every pupil's situation, as well as their results to AfriForum Youth's lawyers.
Oberholzer said there were cases where schools or
institutions did not submit all marks to the department, or pupils were not on
the department's system. These had been referred to education quality assurance
body Umalusi.
