💨 Abstract

The Gauteng High Court has ruled in favor of publishing matric results, rejecting the Information Regulator's application to stop publication, despite privacy concerns. The decision allows learners to access their results from Monday via traditional media. The ruling has sparked a debate about privacy, personal information, and compliance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Critics argue that exam numbers, while anonymized, can still indirectly identify learners.
