10 December 2025- The North West MEC for Education Viola Motsumi said she has noted with serious concern, the denial of issuing report cards of some learners. Motsumi said currently, schools across the province are in the process of issuing reports to learners.
She further said in some schools, learners have been denied report cards due to various reasons involving outstanding fees they owe to the school. Motsumi added that she strongly condemned those schools that deny learners report cards.
“I have received numerous calls from parents and learners across the province, who complained about learners being denied their report cards. This action is highly unacceptable, and those school principals should desist from doing so. Every year at this time, I continue to repeat the same message that learners should be given their report cards.
“Schools should deal with parents, not learners to ensure that they recover any outstanding money. Parents need to fulfill the commitments they make to schools,” she said.
