THE Ministry of Basic Education is expected to release the long-awaited results of last year’s International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams for Grade 12 students on Friday.
Cowley van der Merwe, Director of National Examinations and Assessment, said yesterday that 23 612 pupils will know their fate from 08h00 on Friday. They include 12 717 full-time candidates and 10 895 who wrote on a part-time basis, mainly through the Namibian College of Open Learning (Namcol).
“We are not predicting anything,” he said when asked for an assessment of the results.
The IGCSE Grade 12 results have been improving since the Cambridge system was introduced in 1993.
