D-Day has finally arrived for the class of 2014 as results are expected to be released tomorrow in national papers across the country.
A total of 688 660 candidates were registered to write the year-end examination.
Of this number, 550 127 were full time pupils.
Kwazulu-Natal had the largest group of full time candidates and Gauteng had the lowest.
Girls dominated the cohort of 2014 candidates, making up 54.6% of the matric group.
Examinations were written across 6740 locations with 65 000 invigilators overseeing the five-week writing period.
A total of 41 000 markers at 118 marking venues then tackled the assessment of the examination papers produced.
Basic Minister Angie Motshekga is expected today to announce the outcome of the examinations in a live broadcast both on TV and on the department’s website.
On Tuesday, results will be published in newspapers, classified according to examination numbers and not names.
The department however, urges candidates to obtain their results at the school or exam centre where they wrote their examination.
Teachers would be at schools on Tuesday to answer queries and provide advice and support.
