Department met with parents to explain how to resolve the impasse.
Some of the pupils from a Soweto school who were"erroneously promoted" to grade 12 have been allowed to continue with their matric classes.
Yesterday, provincial department spokesperson Steve Mabona confirmed that 23 pupils were allowed to continue with their matric studies, while 13 were returned to grade 11. The appeals was a process which looked into how the matter could be resolved. The department met with the pupils' parents and explained it would allow pupils who had previously failed grades 10 and 11 to progress to matric while retaining those who had failed two or more subjects.
"In relation to the counseling services, we are waiting for the parents to decide if their children should receive such support.
