With the release of the 2024 National Senior Certificate (NSC) results just around the corner, thousands of Grade 12 learners are eagerly awaiting their fate. Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube will announce the overall pass rate on Monday, 13 January 2025, with individual results available to learners on Tuesday, 14 January 2025.

Before the eagerly anticipated results day, a series of crucial steps take place. The marking of over 732,000 full-time exam papers, conducted by 55,053 markers across 188 centres, was completed in December 2024.

Standardisation: Ensuring Fairness and Accuracy

A key stage in this process is the standardisation of results. This involves a rigorous review by education officials and Umalusi, the quality assurance body for South African qualifications.

  • 23 December 2024:
    • Provincial Heads of Education Departments met to discuss exam performance.
    • Umalusi convened its own standardisation meeting.

Addressing Irregularities

The National Education Investigation and Evaluation Council (NEIC) met on 28 December 2024, to investigate any exam irregularities and ensure the integrity of the results.

What is Standardisation?

Standardisation aims to ensure that marks accurately reflect learners' abilities and are not unfairly influenced by factors like variations in question difficulty or marking standards across different centres.

The Road to Results Day

The decisions made during the standardisation process will be announced to the public in January 2025, paving the way for the official release of the 2024 Matric results.
