Records from the Measurement Services Division (MSD) of the Department of Education show that 350 high and secondary schools have nominated about 79,960 students for Grade 10 this year.
The Written Expression Examination was originally scheduled for the 4th of June by the MSD Calendar. Due to COVID-19, it was postponed by 2 weeks to the 18th of June to give students and schools enough time to catch up with the lost instructional hours under the 'new normal' directives. It was again rescheduled by another 2 weeks to 2nd of July to give sufficient time for all.
