Where to get your 2016 Matric results
·3 Jan 2017
The department of basic education will be releasing the class of 2016 National Senior Certificate matric results on 5 January 2017, and has made several avenues open for learners to gain access to them.
The department said that marking is well underway and that it is on schedule to meet the targeted date.
Learners can access their results (or register to receive them) in the following ways:
- EWN has a Matric Results page, which will remind you when the results are released and will also provide them on the day.
- Other news outlets have similar results pages available, including News24’s Matric Results page, which offers learners a chance to win R5000.
- The Department of Basic Education will live-stream the education minister’s announcement of the matric results on the 4th of January, and will also make the results available on the 5th.
- Learners can also sign up to the SABC’s SMS service: SMS the learner’s ID and Student number to 35658 or dial *120*35658# to register. The SMS will tell learners if they have passed or not, while the USSD system (*120*35658#) will deliver the more detailed results.
- For learners who do not have access to the Internet or a cellphone, the results will also be available in the morning papers, as well as from the schools or learning facilities at which the exams were written.
In the 2015 matric results, South African grade 12 learners managed an overall pass rate of 70.7%, which was down from 2014’s pass rate of 75.8%.
