South Africa today has actually touched the holy grail, for the first time our results have gone beyond 80% and we say thank you to the young people of our country.” also shares the same sentiment. The party says the 81.3% matric pass rate achieved by the class of 2019 is impressive.
Meanwhile, Parliament has encouraged learners who failed the 2019 matric exams to try again this year. Chairperson of the Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Basic Education Bongiwe Mbingo-Gigaba says the more than 81 % pass rate shows the effort the 2019 matric students put into their studies. Mbingo- Gigaba says those who failed should not see it as the end of the road. “We think that our kids have done well and they have increased the pass rate because from 76% to 81%, it is a 5 percentage point increase and we think that they have worked hard. It took 12 years and more probably to others of hard work, and we want to congratulate them, all of them. We even congratulate the ones that did not make it.
The Democratic Alliance has, however, expressed concern about the overall health of the basic education system, saying many of those who enrolled in 2008 failed to make it to matric.
