The Western Cape Department of Education (WCED) has urged matriculants to check their pockets for notes or cellphones before writing their exams.
The department has warned that forgetting phones or answers will not be considered an excuse for cheating.
The WCED has also warned that students who are found cheating during their exams will be barred from the exam and could lose their qualification altogether.
In addition, the department has warned that leaking an examination paper could lead to criminal charges.
The WCED’s warning comes after more than 30 students were found with notes or phones during the 2022 matric exams.
