Court to hear urgent application to prevent publication of 2024 matric results

The regulator wants to interdict the Basic Education Department from publishing the results on public forums, including newspapers.

It argues that this will violate the matriculants’ right to privacy. 

Last year, the regulator served the department with an enforcement notice to stop the public release of the results, but the Education Department lodged an appeal, suspending the notice.
