Anyone can understand the stresses and strains that students have to deal with after having to deal with the recent and protracted Public Sector strikes, but one has to wonder about the sanity of the South African Students Unions when they demand that the Basic Education Department grant them an autmatic 25% bonus to their preliminary exams scores... This is just plainly laughable, as it would render the results of the exams null-and-void in as far as national statistics are concerned.
Nobody gets a free ride in life... If the students want to be given their Matric Certificates without having to write the exams then the Certificates will be worthless and the students might as well have stayed at home in the first place.
In addition, granting a 25% bonus mark to students will result in the students being unable to gain admission to universities or jobs, as the certificates will be worthless and valueless, as a basic requirement for employment.
