The Department of Basic Education has announced that publishing of National Senior Certificate (NSC) results on media platforms will not occur for 2021 results.
This comes following the announcements of matric results scheduled for 21 January.
The department cited the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) as the reason, giving an indication that, dissemination of pupils’ personal information would be in contravention of POPIA.
Department’s Spokesperson, Elija Mhlanga, said the results will be available at schools as in previous years.
“In order to comply with the provisions of the POPIA, the usual practice of publishing the National Senior Certificate (NSC) results on public platforms (media platforms) will not occur for 2021,” the letter read.
“As was also the practice in previous years, all learners will be required to obtain their statement of results from the schools they attended. In this way every learner’s personal information with regards to the outcome of their National Senior Certificate exam will be protected.”
