Here is where you can get your matric results online
The matric results for the class of 2015 will be released by the Department of Education on 5 January at 18:00, with individual results set to be available from 6 January.
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga will first announce the national pass rate on television at 18:00 on Tuesday, 5 January 2016 for pupils who wrote the exams administered by the department.
All results, except those for Western Cape, will go live on the department’s website www.dbe.gov.za.
A total of 674,232 full-time and 127,456 part-time matric candidates enrolled to write.
Schools in all provinces, except the Western Cape, will open at 08:00 for pupils to fetch results and collect their National Senior Certificate.
Pupils in Western Cape would have to wait longer than the rest of the country, and would be able to collect their results at schools from noon on January 6, and online from 14:00 of the same day.
Spokesperson Jessica Shelver said this was so that school principals could analyse the results and check for any discrepancies.
This means that the Western Cape’s results would not be online with the rest of the country at midnight on Tuesday.
They would be online from 14:00 on Wednesday on http://www.westerncape.gov.za/service/examination-information-and-results.
Matric exam quality assurer, Umalusi, has already warned that the national pass rate will be lower than the 75.8% for the class of 2014.
