Official reports have confirmed that the Minister of Basic Education will announce the release of the 2021 matric results on the 20th of January after Pretoria High Court ruled that the exam results are a 'matter of public interest'.
Grade 12 students can access their online results on the 21st of January 2022 online or via SMS, USSD, newspapers or at their examination centres.
