The Department of Basic Education says it will publish the 2025 National Senior Certificate results on Sunday, 12 January. Schools and the public will be notified via SMS ahead of the full public release — allowing early access and reducing online traffic on official platforms.
The Department of Basic Education has announced that the 2025 National Senior Certificate matric results will be made public on Sunday, 12 January. Ahead of the full release, both schools and matric pupils will receive SMS notifications.
The advance notifications are designed to help manage the high demand and traffic that commonly overload official websites after results drop. The department hopes the move will make access smoother and more equitable for all learners.
Education authorities also encouraged matriculants to check their results promptly and to use official channels to avoid misinformation or phishing scams. Schools will receive results first via secured portals before the public announcement.
