What the exam paper leakages and rewrites mean
We understand the Teachers Union, private schools and other educational organisations are against the resit (or rewrite) of the examinations leaked early in December 2022. However, the leakage of exam papers has been widespread in the country.
Understandably, this (the rewrite) is not what many Grade 12 and Grade 11 students would want, but it is in the best interest of the exam and the validity of the results and certificates that the students must resit.
The education ministry and Cambridge International understand that the NSSCO and NSSCAS are internationally accredited and recognised certificates. And therefore, the exams must be free of cheating for them to be valid.
When are the Grade 12 results in 2022 coming out?
The Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture (MoEAC), in a news release dated 8th December last year, stated that they will launch the results for Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Ordinary (NSSCO, new) and Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate Advanced Subsidiary (NSSCAS, new) on the date they set originally.
It is not clear when exactly MoEAC will release the results for this year, but based on last year's experience the ministry made the announcement on the 4th of February 2023, and the candidates accessed their results on the 5th of February 2023
