Countdown to the 2022 matric results on the card

The 2022 matric results will soon be published, and students can expect to receive their results on January 19 and their original statements on January 20. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) reports that its representatives have already started processing the Class of 2022 results.

Nationwide, about 900 000 matric students took the 2022 National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams. October 31 marked the beginning of the exam season, which ended on December 8. On the other hand, transcripts were marked between December 8 and December 20. Elijah Mhlanga, a department spokesperson, told media that everything was still on schedule for Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga to officially announce the results on January 19.

For some students, the announcement of the results can be a difficult and sensitive period since they may feel pressure from their family or depressed at this time, but Mhlanga said: “There is nothing one can do other than to wait patiently for the day of results.”He also advised pupils to “keep busy by reading, exercising and staying safe”.

What are the Matric Result’s pass symbols?

You may have encountered the condition “must have achieved a minimum of Level 5″ for a certain subject” when applying for tertiary education and bursaries. Here is what each sign on a matric certificate means and how it relates to a particular percentage:

Level 7: means you have achieved 80 to 100% (Outstanding)
Level 6: means you have achieved 70 to 79% (Meritorious)
Level 5: means you have achieved 60 to 69% (Substantial)
Level 4: means you have achieved 50 to 59% (Moderate)
Level 3: means you have achieved 40 to 49% (Adequate)
Level 2: means you have achieved 30 to 39% (Elementary)
Level 1: means you have achieved 0 to 29% (Not achieved)

I can already hear you saying, “Oh no! Will everyone in the nation be able to see my marks? the answer is no. Only your pertinent overall mark symbol and whether you passed will be listed on the documents.

From your high school

The day after the department releases the Matric 2022 marks, all high schools are asked to reveal their students’ results. Your grades for each course will be reflected in these results, but this is not your official matriculation certificate, to reiterate.

What is the role of Umalusi?

Umalusi, which means “shepherd or herder,” is derived from Nguni. The standards of general and advanced education and training are one of the nation’s most prized resources, and Umalusi is responsible for maintaining them. The custodian of the family’s riches is also referred to as a “Umalusi” in Nguni culture.

According to the National Qualifications Framework Act No. 67 of 2008 [as amended] and the General and Further Education and Training Quality Assurance Act No. 58 of 2001 [as amended], Umalusi Council establishes and oversees standards for general and further education and training in South Africa.The Council is responsible for overseeing the quality assurance that goes along with developing and managing a sub-framework of qualifications for general and advanced education and training.

The General and Further Education and Training Quality Assurance Act No. 58 of 2001 [modified in 2008] and the National Qualifications Act No. 67 of 2008 [as amended] are the laws that established and control Umalusi. To carry out the duties outlined in these Acts, the Umalusi Council is nominated by the Minister of Basic Education. Regarding the accreditation of credentials provided by TVET colleges and adult learning facilities, Umalusi also answers to the Minister of Higher Education and Training. A five-year strategy plan established with the Ministers of Education guides Umalusi’s operations. The strategic plan outlines the goals and metrics for performance for Umalusi. The yearly business plan, which guides the Council’s day-to-day operations and serves as a foundation for evaluating success, is framed by the strategic plan.
