The Eastern Cape Department of Education’s trail examination started smoothly with minor challenges from the Ngcobo. Of the 68 250 registered learners for these trail examinations, 4 841 wrote their first papers today.
Papers that were written today by learners are Computer Application Technology and Information Technology that started at 09h00 (am), while Engineering Graphic and Design was written this afternoon at 14H00.
Despite the fact that the 22 day trail examinations’ time table is internally customised for each school, all schools are expected to finish it on 27 September this year. Below is the breakdown and statistics per subject:
