Durban - The matric pass rate has reached an all time high of 81.3%, breaking the 80% barrier for the first time.
Only Gauteng saw a marginal decline in its provincial matric pass rate, but the same province had six of the Top 10 performing districts in the country. The Western Cape province was fourth with 82.3% increases, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 81.3%, Mpumalanga with 80.3%, Eastern Cape and Northern Cape tied for 76.5%, while the Limpopo province was last, with 73.2%. “We wish to commend Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, North West, Free State and Gauteng for maintaining their 80% performance status; and we must particularly applaud the Free State for reclaiming the top spot from Gauteng.
In addition Motshekga said the number of candidates qualifying for admission to Bachelor studies stood at 186 058 – an improvement of 8% from 2018. This represented 36.9% of the total number of candidates, who wrote the 2019 NSC examinations, meaning almost four out of every 10 pupils who passed their exams, were legible for university degree studies this year.
DBE_SA 80% pass rate is meaningless if 30% is a pass. How much of that 80% is bachelor's pass?
DBE_SA Sorry it’s now 20% ers
DBE_SA How many were 30%ers?
DBE_SA With 30% pass can it be that difficult if can write your name you pass 🤣🤣🤣
