The minister said 30% is a minimum requirement for a single subject and not an aggregate pass mark for all grade 12 subjects.

Image:Basic education minister Angie Motshekga has responded to the ongoing public debate on the matric pass mark, dismissing claims it is 30%.

The requirements are split into three categories which qualify pupils either for bachelor’s degree or diploma studies and the higher certificate pass. For a diploma pass, pupils must obtain 40% for their home language, at least 40% in three other subjects and a minimum of 30% in the language of learning.

We already lazy and you make it worse thinking that we should put little effort in education

So are you telling us that if i pass all my subjects with 30% i can still fail matric?

We literally do, so?

Play on words. What does that mean🤦🏾‍♀️

F$cking 30% you call that a pass mark so you obviously don’t need a brain to pass a subject these days!

But in Gr 10 and 11 learners only need 30% to progress to the next grade

Some of your here passed their Maths with lower grade. Not all learners should go to universities.

To make it all easy to your understanding,, it's based on investment whereby you're given the opportunity to make investment with a minimum amount and you get returns from a weekly trade carried out in the platform... ASK ME HOW

Thus you get 30% for each subject.... pass.

Does not matter how you say it, its pathetic that someone with a 30% in a second language and 40% in a hone language is allowed into a university. 40% in three other subjects? Thats why we have mass unemployed graduates.

I don't trust this old geezer, after all she believes 1 metre is greater than 500m.

All the Mandela, Mbeki and Zuma's ministers should retire, hhaikhona.

That’s still a fake pass mark, the agreement made to deny these kids to quality education is just a shocker!
