KZN Education warns against matric exam malpractice
The first big matric exam, English paper 1, officially gets written today.
Hundreds of thousands of full time learners and part time candidates across the country will tackle the exam.
While education officials have wished the class of 2017 well over the next few weeks - they've urged pupils to do things by the book.
KZN Education's Barney Mthembu has urged pupils to adhere to rules and regulations.
"They must ensure that they do not involve themselves in exam malpractice because the consequences of such are very problematic for young people. There are still young people who are still writing right now because their results were nullified before," he says.
