Umalusi Raises Concern Over Shortage Of Marking Staff

Education quality assurance body Umalusi has raised concerns over the Department of Basic Educations shortage of marking staff during the exams.

The shortage will affect History, English home language, Afrikaans first and additional language, primarily within Language Paper three.

Umalusi says it is ready to administer the 2024 matric exams.

Umalusi CEO Mafu Rakometsi says the contingency plans that the department has put in place are simply not enough.

The appeal we are making is to the employer, and the employers of different heads of provincial departments, they are also called superintendents. To say this matter has been going on several times, it must be corrected. It cannot go on like this.
