Matric results in a newspaper.

The Western Cape Department of Education (WCED) says the province’s matric results will be available at schools and on the WCED website on Tuesday morning.

The Provincial Education Minister, David Maynier, says he is looking forward to good results despite 2025 being a difficult year.

“2025 was a tough year, but the class of 2025 dedicated themselves to their studies and the matric teachers worked exceptionally hard to support them in the run-up to their exams. We are looking forward to celebrating some great results with our candidates, before the class of 2026 takes over the reins,” says Maynier.

Gauteng learners from the Matric class of 2025 say they are eagerly awaiting the release of their results.

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube is expected to announce the top achievers and provinces on Monday, while individual results are set to be released on Tuesday.
