BusinessLive reports that the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) said on Thursday that major steps had been taken to clear the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) examination results and certificates backlog.
The number of outstanding certificates has been reduced significantly from the 236,821 recorded in August 2015, to 29,583. The DHET said the issuing of outstanding certificates was being hampered by data problems at TVET colleges. These included data-capturing errors, authentication of identity numbers and other personal information. TVET college principals had been engaged in a process to validate and to confirm all preliminary examination data from the examination centres. Two-million subject results for the November 2016 exams have been processed and released. The final outstanding and pending results were released to TVET colleges earlier in March.
