14 December 2025- Marking of National Senior Certificate (NSC) final examinations in 20 centres across the North West concluded smoothly without any challenges. Immediately at 10am on Friday, all 20 marking centres were officially closed down.
The North West MEC for Education, Viola Motsumi said all markers were allowed to travel back home after spending 21 days at their different marking centres. Motsumi said the province officially established 20 marking centres in schools that have hostel facilities and the department appointed 4017 markers.
“We would like to thank all the markers and wish them a safe journey back home. On behalf of the entire department, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all our markers for the sterling work they have performed. We never received any challenge or complaint during the entire marking period.
“These markers sacrificed their comfort of being with their families and chose to perform the national duty instead. I believe that, as the entire country, we should salute them; without them we are nothing. I wish them a very safe journey back to their homes to be with their loved ones,” she said.
Motsumi further said the capturing of the marks is expected to be concluded by 15 December 2025.
