Question 678
J Lorimer (DA) to ask Minister of Basic Education:
Whether her department has a policy on date by which matric exam timetable should be finalised, whether is 2010 timetable finalised?
Response:
The time table for the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination must be finalised in the year prior to the writing of the examination. For the 2010 NSC examination the first draft was completed in September 2009 and circulated amongst key stakeholders for comment. The comments from the stakeholders were incorporated into the time table and the final version was approved by the Heads of Education Department (HEDCOM) in December 2009. The final version of the time table has been distributed to all provincial education departments and posted on the website of the Department of Education.
