GARDEN ROUTE | KAROO NEWS - It is just over a week until the class of 2023 gets their matric exam results, with thousands of candidates waiting anxiously.
Candidates no longer have to wait for school gates to open or queue at garages for the morning newspaper to get their matric results.
Technology has eased their anxiety by providing SMSs, apps and websites where they can get their results.
Matric results dates
The Independent Board of Examinations (IEB) will release their matric results on 18 January. And on the same day the Minister of Basic Education, Angie Motshegka will announce the outcome of the examinations.
Public school results (NSC results) will then be released on 19 January at 06:00.
