Gauteng matric pupil goes into labour while writing the exam
A matric pupil in Gauteng has given birth after ignoring labour pains while writing a final year exam paper. According to the Gauteng Department of Education, the 17-year-old from a Tsakane school started experiencing contractions while writing in the main exam room. She was subsequently whisked away by paramedics from the venue and was able to complete the exam in a private room.
“After refusing to leave the exam centre for medical intervention, she was subsequently moved to a private office where she continued to write under excruciating labour pains,” the department said in a statement, the paramedics promptly responded and waited for about 30 minutes for the said learner to complete her Maths Literacy paper.
The learner was then taken to a local hospital where she gave birth. The provincial education department says that it will ensure that the learner will write all her outstanding papers.
