An unsolvable question in the matric mathematics paper 2, which sparked a nationwide outcry from pupils and teachers, has been excluded from the marking process.
There was an uproar from pupils and teachers after the writing of the paper on November 7 when they discovered that a seven-mark question in trigonometry was “unsolvable”.
Mhlanga said at the time the suspected error was reported countrywide after the paper had been written. Umalusi spokesperson Biki Lepota said the panel had been specifically tasked to investigate how the error crept in and why it was not detected between the examiners and internal and external moderators up to the printing stage.
Meanwhile the department said the national senior certification exams would end on December 8 “because of the rewrite opportunities arising from disruptions in some parts of the country”. “During the writing of the examinations, the department received reports requesting that some candidates be granted permission to rewrite examinations in selected subjects.
