Education minister says South Africa should have the final 2008 matric examination pass rate by the end of this month.

Education minister Naledi Pandor says South Africa should have the final 2008 matric examination pass rate by the end of this month, when her department expects to have finished its investigations into about 700 allegations of examination irregularities.

Pandor expressed concern about the delay in the release of the results, particularly those for whom continuous assessments were not handed in to the provincial authorities on time.

She says there will be an investigation into the delay and a report back at the next Council of Education Ministers meeting next month.
