The African National Congress
in the Western Cape has called for an investigation into the decline in the
matric pass rate in the province.
ANC’s Theo Olivier said the
province is still not producing the results needed to be the best in the
country.
Olivier said it is
unacceptable that a province with the vast resources, skills and experience can
slip so much.
Olivier said that the
Democratic Alliance led province was largely to blame for the drop in the pass
rate.
Olivier said The ANC has also
noted that the provincial results under the DA again are fourth on the national
list, whereas under the ANC the province was the national leader in the first
place.
Oliver said, referring to
Gauteng which topped the list of best performing province with 84.7% followed
by North West with 84.6% and the Free State on 82.8%.
Olivier said The DA
administration is trying hard to shift the goal posts and to employ DA lies,
spin, smoke and mirrors to deflect attention away from the fact that in this
so-called best run province about one in five learners failed matric.
“The majority of those who
failed, are from disadvantaged areas who still have to deal with poor service
delivery and infrastructure challenges Olivier added.
