Parliament commends quick action in maths paper leak

Wednesday, November 2, 2016

Pretoria - The Portfolio Committee on Basic Education says it supports the approach taken by the Department of Basic Education in dealing with the reported Grade 12 maths exam paper leak in the Mopani District in Limpopo.

According to a statement by the Parliamentary Communications Services on Wednesday, committee chairperson Nomalungelo Gina said the reported leak has a potential to compromise the quality of the education system.

“We support DBE’s approach to report the matter to the law enforcement agencies, and that the district be quarantined to establish the patterns and the extent of the challenge. Investigation into the matter has to continue and be done expeditiously,” Gina said.

Gina said everyone must be vigilant against this kind of transgression, as it compromises the future of learners. - SAnews.gov.za
