Basic Education Ministry said today they will focus on improving the matric pass rate in the Eastern Cape.

Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Basic Education unpacked the 2011 matric results today.

The national pass rate was 70.2 percent but the Committee said there are major concerns about the low pass rate in the
Eastern Cape.

Officials stressed that 2011’s national pass rate was a standard that must be upheld.

The portfolio committee is concerned about the drop in the number of matric admissions and underperforming districts in the
Eastern Cape.
