The overall 2015 Matric
results pass rate dropped by 5.1 per cent when compared to that of 2014. The
Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga revealed this, when she officially
announced the performance of the class of 2015 in Midrand, Johannesburg
yesterday evening.
Motshekga however defended the drop saying it
was because of the high standard of the examination papers as well as the
department’s decision to promote to Grade 12 students who had not passed Grade
11
“Ladies
and Gentleman our 2015 NSC overall results pass stands with all learners
progress and non-progress, it says 70.7 percent down from 75.9 and I did ask
the office to also calculate to say if you didn’t add progress learners where
would will be. We would’ve been at 74.1 percent”, said Minister of Basic
Education Angie Motshekga.
