Matric results shouldn't be used as contest between provinces - Sadtu
Sadtu spokesperson
Nomusa Cembi says the matric results should not be made a contest among
the provinces.
"The uneven performance of provinces has nothing to do with the learners and the quality of teaching, but it has to do with the uneven distribution of resources.”
