As matriculants across the country prepare for one of the most pivotal moments in their academic journey, the Gauteng Provincial Government is stepping up to ensure a smoother experience.

The Provincial Government says it continues to make it easier for matriculants to access their National Senior Certificate results through the Gauteng Matric Results Online System, which will be available for the release of the 2025 results next week.

The online platform allows learners to view their results quickly and securely on smartphones, tablets and other digital devices, avoiding the need to gather at schools or public noticeboards on results day.

Results will be available from Tuesday, January 13, 2026.

Government said the system was designed to reduce the stress often associated with results day by allowing learners to check their results in a private and supportive environment, at a time and place that suits them.

By providing a reliable digital option, the province aims to support learners as they reach a major milestone and prepare for the next phase of their education, training or career pathways.

Gauteng MEC for the Department of e-Government, Bonginkosi Dhlamini, said the system empowers learners by giving them direct and secure access to critical academic information.

“This digital platform ensures that matriculants can access their results easily and securely, while maintaining the privacy they deserve as they reflect on their achievements and prepare to take their next steps after completing school,” said Dhlamini.

The Gauteng Provincial Government said the continued use of the online results system forms part of its broader efforts to improve access to public services through digital solutions.

Matriculants will be able to access their 2025 results by visiting the Gauteng Matric Results Online System website, entering their examination number and clicking “search” once the results are officially released.
