2020
Here is what educational specialist Jan Badenhorst has to say, “The covid pandemic created months of lost school days.
And most kids will not have been able to study successfully from home. So it seems logical that the results will be impacted. At the same time, these results are so important for so many different stakeholders, that there will be a lot of pressure to adjust the marks upwards.
I predict that the results for Gauteng will drop to just below 85%.”
