Provincial ANC education spokesperson Khalid Sayed said the onus of blame should be directed at Mobility MEC Daylin Mitchell.

In a statement, the Western Cape Education Department said that while all matric candidates had been able to write their exams over during the strike, other learners were severely impacted by the protest action on Monday and Tuesday.

Candidates were informed that they would be able to write at their nearest exam centre ahead of these exams.. “School staff were also negatively affected, with 2 435 missing work on Monday, and 1 965 on Tuesday. Most crucially, many schools had to reschedule exams, disrupting the end-of-year revision, marking, and administrative processes at our schools.”that the fact that other learners could not attend classes due to protests was a cause for great concern.
