UCT OHS & SACAI - WORST EDUCATION INSTITUTION
My son recently completed his Matric through UCT Online High School, an institution that, regrettably, has left us deeply disappointed. It has come to our attention that the final exams, facilitated by SACAI, have yielded outcomes that are not only disheartening but, more alarmingly, seem to be marred by a grave injustice. According to recent revelations, SACAI, responsible for overseeing these examinations, has allegedly undermarked students nationwide. What is even more distressing is the explanation provided, suggesting that an umalusi computerized standardization system has arbitrarily altered SACAI's results. This revelation of a computerized system altering the results of every Matric student is deeply troubling. As concerned parents, we cannot stand idly by while such a critical aspect of our children's futures is left to the mercy of a seemingly flawed and unjust process. The ramifications of these actions are severe, as they have not only compromised the academic standing of all matriculants but have also jeopardized their chances of gaining admission to universities. It is imperative that SACAI and UCT Online High School take immediate responsibility for their actions and rectify this situation promptly. To address this matter, we have initiated a petition calling for a manual remarking of all students' exam papers. We strongly urge both SACAI and UCT Online High School to heed this call for fairness and uphold the integrity of the examination process. The failure to rectify this situation promptly will not be tolerated, as it has not only disrupted our children's academic journey but also impacted their future prospects. We demand swift action and transparency in addressing this issue to restore the trust and confidence in the education system that has been severely undermined. We will not rest until SACAI and UCT Online High School take decisive steps to rectify this situation and ensure that justice is served for all affected students.
Each student had to pay SACAI R12’000 to write their final exams ! I await your IMMEDIATE RESPONSE!
UCT Online High School’s first Matric cohort’s results were released on 17 January and were a significant milestone for the school. Learners’ achievements are set out in a blog post, which can be found here (https://www.uctonlinehighschool.com/blog/congratulations-to-our-matric-class-of-2023), along with information about the progress made by learners in Grades 8 to 11.
Following the release of the Matric results, there have been a number of queries from both guardians of learners who wrote in 2023 and guardians whose children are currently studying with us. We would like to reassure our guardian community that we are attending to any queries regarding a learner’s SBA portfolio marks. For any queries related to a learner’s final Matric results (including regrade and/or rewrite requests), guardians have been encouraged to follow SACAI’s stipulated channels for escalation. Adhering to these channels of escalation to SACAI is essential as only SACAI can address these.
The school has asked guardians to be patient with SACAI, as they are experiencing a high volume of queries, which is also expected at this time of year. In order to ensure that both the school and SACAI are working with full and accurate information, guardians of learners who wrote in 2023 are being asked to provide details of any further concerns, in addition to issues that have already been reported.
UCT Online High School’s team is working hard to collect and interrogate all relevant information and, wherever it can, work with SACAI until all issues are resolved.
