very proud of my boy. 9 Distinctions. Top 1% percent in Business Studies in IEB. And commendation for top 5 % in SA for 5 subjects. His hard work has paid off. Average of 90.1 percent. #MatricClassOf2024
3 more hours before the IEB #MatricClassOf2024 results are out. My nerves are shot....
Two more days to go .... #MatricClassOf2024 #Matrics2024

So i see this on the wires... :

https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/matric-exams-errors-in-questions-worth-79-marks-found-in-matric-geography-paper-20241123.

Apart from the fact that its a major stuff up, there is also a paragraph the reads

"This follows complaints over two questions in the Physical Science Paper 2 set by another assessment body, the Independent Examinations Board (IEB), for pupils attending the majority of the country's private schools.

My son wrote that paper and also said afterwards there were two questions that did not make sense. Now, he is aiming for 8A's, so it is significant.

I wonder if they are going to do anything about it ? SA Education covering itself in glory again....
