Article: Forged matric certificates increasing

The number of forged matric certificates is increasing, and the situation is unlikely to change soon, it was reported on Friday.

Validation processes in 2012 established that 23 percent of matric certificates were questionable, compared to 21 percent in 2010, Ina van der Merwe, CEO of Managed Integrity Evaluation (MIE), South Africa's largest company qualifications validator, told Beeld.
 
Only reason for a matric would be to get a job I'd assume, so this shows people are desperate to get jobs.

On the bad side, it also shows our our education system is failing to educate over 23% of our population (over because some people wouldn't bother with getting a fake one)

That is shocking!
 
Our president is corrupt, who'd expect a lowly matriculant without any prospects to be honest?
 
Shows how desperate people are to get work. Many people realise only too late how important it is to complete matric and one does not always know the circumstances as to why they did not.
