Amongst the hype of it all, there is the dismay of those who don't see their names and in more recent years, there have been reports of spikes in the rate of teen suicides around the time the results are released.
The class of 2022 had a tough build-up to matric. They bore the brunt of Covid-19 that disrupted two years of learning, leading to the Department of Basic Education (DBE) doubling efforts in preparation for the exams.
Because of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI Act), the department said parents and pupils will have to sign consent forms for their National Senior Certificate (NSC) results to be published in newspapers and other media platforms.
The boards of intermediate and secondary Education in Sahiwal, DG Khan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Bahawalpur, Multan, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Sargodha have uploaded the results on their respective websites.

Only a four short years earlier, the school had opened its doors to meet the need for another high school in Hout Bay, and both pupils and teachers understood the performance of this first matric class would reflect just how far Silikamva had come in this period.
Once principal Angus Duffett had seated the pupils, a cross-section of the 72 Silikamva matriculants, every eye in the room turned to the wooden box on the table that contained those envelopes. That fate could be so tightly compacted seemed almost surreal to some.
He also wanted the pupils to know that finishing matric was an achievement in itself, in that the retention rate in the Western Cape was 62 percent, although the highest in the country, still well off the desired number.
Eventually it was time for the pupils to receive their results. Individuals were requested to come up to the front of the classroom to collect their envelopes, which were to be opened in the passage outside.
In addition to accessing results from media such as newspapers, the department has urged candidates to register on the website to view the results when they become available on Thursday, 20 January 2022.
Like many South Africans across the country I awaited the matric results with one part interest, one part disdain and one part anxiety: interest as it is a key stable barometer of the health of our schooling system; disdain as this is not the only indicator, but garners the most attention; and anxiety because I have teenage children, nieces and nephews and friends in my life.
Most children enter Grade R at five years old (a few go a year earlier). Thirteen years later they will be 18, and should be in Grade 12. About half of them will have turned 19 during their matric years. The DBE progression policy is that you can only repeat one grade in a phase. So you get four possibilities of repeating a year. So the expected age for matric is 17 to 22-year-olds. Also, the numbers get pretty small for 23 onwards. But, congratulations to those adults who took on the matric challenge.
The problem is with the young men, when compared with young women: 1) men are dropping out more before matric; 2) men are repeating a grade more often in school, and so are older when in matric; and 3) more men are failing matric.
OK, so we know the problem: 1) more South African women are taking up the opportunity to write matric than men are; 2) men are failing more often, and dropping out; and 3) fewer men are passing matric.
The information watchdog was responding to news that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) has decided not to publish matric exam results on any media public platforms in order to comply with the prescripts of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
In the case of personal information related to matric results being disseminated, POPIA would also require that the matriculants be advised of such an intention to disseminate the information and be advised of their right to object to such dissemination of information.
If they want to disseminate the results through media platforms, they must inform all the learners and all the parents of their intention to make matric results available in various media platforms. They must inform them on which media platforms those results will be made available and how the results can be accessed.
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] remains steadfast in its call to the Department of Basic Education to bring to an end the wrongful practice of publishing matric results of individual learners in newspapers.
Learners do not write examinations through newspapers, but through schools and therefore should and can get their results from school instead of newspapers. We believe that in publishing the results, the only people that benefit the most are the private owners and shareholders of newspapers through the profits they make from sky-rocketing sales driven by the results.
The publication of leaner results in newspapers has other negative social implications, resulting in some learners reacting in a manner they would ordinarily not adopt were the results not published in newspapers.
"The usual practice of publishing exam results on public platforms will not occur for 2021 exams. As was also the practice in previous years, all learners will be required to obtain their Statements of Results from their respective schools", the department confirmed on Twitter.
Nzimande reminded students that National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) application results will be communicated to all applicants once the scheme received confirmation from the institution that an academic offer has been made.
