Matric Results To Be Released On 19 January 2023

Matric learners across the country are nervously awaiting for their exam results, which are expected to be released very soon. While anticipation to know if they’ve passed is high, so is the suspense about where their results could take them in the future

Department of Basic Education (DBE) has announced that the official release date of the matric results will be 19 January, 2023.

With the release expected to take place in the middle of January, many are worried if this leaves learners enough time to secure places at tertiary institutions, which normally begin their academic year from the beginning of February.

In the past, the DBE has been subject to criticism of the “late” release of the matric results, with many questioning if it cannot be released sooner, as it sets universities and colleges back in regards to registration, causing a bit of chaos.

Spokesperson for the DBE, Elijah Mhlanga, explained that due to the increase in the number of learners writing matric, a lot more has to be done in the process of marking the exams and releasing the results.
