Basic Education on the leak of Mathematics Paper 2
The Department of Basic Education has become aware that the Matric Mathematics Paper 2 has leaked.
Initial indications are that the paper became available in the early parts of Monday morning, hours before the paper could be written.
The origins of the leak are not clear as yet but the matric candidates who had access to the question paper appear to be located in the Limpopo and Gauteng provinces.
The Department verified the content of the question paper and found it to be the same as the question paper that was to be written at 9am.
The Department of Basic Education is investigating the matter to establish the extent of the leak. Early sources point to the confinement of the leakage to a few learners located in these two provinces.
