Thousands of students in Gauteng province may experience delays in receiving their second-term report cards as schools prepare to close for the break on Friday. The disruption stems from a technical issue affecting the national learner administration system, hindering access to student records. Education officials have acknowledged the problem and stated that technicians are working to resolve it quickly. The extent of the delay remains uncertain, but authorities aim to minimize the impact on students and families. This system failure impacts the timely distribution of academic performance reports. The department has not yet provided a timeline for full system restoration.
