A tweet by the department of basic education on Friday afternoon that the matric computer applications technology (CAT) and IT exams would also have to be rewritten sparked massive panic and confusion.

Manuel said his union was very unhappy about the department’s decision to get all pupils to rewrite the maths paper 2 and physical science paper 2.

He said that while Naptosa wants to see the guilty parties punished, “at the same time we also don’t want to pressurise the children, some of whom may be quite delicate at this stage”. Manuel said that they made their views quite clear in a meeting with the irregularities committee as well as in the meeting with the minister.

Ben Machipi, general secretary of the Professional Educators Union , said the union was “greatly pained by the decision” for a national rewrite of maths paper 2 and physical science paper 2.
