Ministers Schäfer and Grant appeal to metrorail and taxi associations to assist with learner transport for NSC exams
16 October 2018
Yesterday, thousands of matric candidates across the province began writing the 2018 National Senior Certificate examinations.
Many of these candidates rely solely on public transport to make it to their examination venue each day.
With on-going reports of Metrorail trains being delayed, cancelled or set alight, it is a concern that there is a possibility that some Matric candidates will not reach their examination venues on time.
We, as the Ministers for Transport and Public Works and Education, have discussed these concerns and appeal to all public transport operators to assist us in ensuring that candidates get to their exam centres on time.
