The DA has accused basic education minister Angie Motshekga of fabricating the 2020 matric results. File photo.The DA has accused basic education minister Angie Motshekga of inflating the 2020 matric results, saying the “real” pass rate was 44.1% and not 76.2%.

According to DA shadow minister of basic education Baxolile Nodada, the party came up with this figure by comparing the number of pupils who enrolled in 2018 to the number who wrote and passed matric in 2020. Nodada accused Motshekga of whitewashing the results to mask the severe systemic failures of her department, saying she cannot hope to get away with “subterfuge”.

“The serious concerns plaguing the basic education system will never be addressed if the department continues to try to bury the truth of their ineptitude,”“This pass rate is disappointing and indicative of the chaotic nature of the 2020 academic year, coupled with the historic challenge of SA’s extraordinarily high dropout rate.”

Worse than bantu system

So the DA was marking matric papers last?

SA:'the sky is blue' DA:'that's not true, the ANC blah blah blah...'

Wait, doesn't the DA leader himself lack matric 😂😂😂

debbiejustdoes They lie and lie and lie, until they believe their story themselves….

This person blocked me cos I told him he was a liar. He said John Steenhuizen did not have matric. Ai toggie. The struggle is real

Maybe do some investigative journalism into how many students enroll grade 1 and how many of those actually pass grade 12? Do the math and then question the DA or the ANC. But get your facts right, first.

I do believe that

What difference does it make? I like the sound of 76.2% better than 44.1% so for the sake of positivity, I’m on team Angie

At least these kids, and adult ‘matriculants’ are finally out of the school system and have freed up space for those still in the schooling pipeline 🤷🏽‍♂️🙏🇿🇦😷💉

I appreciate this view by the DA but it's misleading and I think they must split the reports in 2: 1. Those who sat and wrote matric exams 2. Those who were in matric but never ended up with a result for various reasons I personally know that markers doctor results for matric.

Wouldn’t be surprised.

😲😲😲

Here we go again

The DA is gesuip😭😭😭😭😭

😂😂

The last time the DA was happy about the results was when the WCape was the number one province.

The reason is that John didn't write his matric, if he wrote his matric then we could have reached that 76.2% his party is talking about. The DA should have encouraged him to go and write his matric to achieve that percentage.

😂😂😂😂Lol pass one pass all

John Steenhuisen matric result was disgusting

Penxenxe They say that every year...the only correct pass rate is that from WC. It's an old script...

They always say this. Even 2019 were fabricated according to DA. DA must win elections then we will listen to their self-praise

Our_DA le bolela nonsense fela😒😕

Hha! 😳

DA must just sit down. They don't have to oppose everything.

The DA must provide us with evidence

Might be true though. You know mos M_A_C

Pupils were not attending everyday cz of covid-19, I agreed with him, is true.

Take them to court this education is nonsense. How can you pass with 30% in the first place

Yeah right tell Stenheisen to go and write his matric so it will be 76.2% 😉

I believe the DA because the anc are liars and thieves.

What

Lol

We all know the truth, as crisply stated by the DA's James Selfe a few years ago. What's bad for South Africa, is good for the DA. They're now taking it a step further. When you can't find anything bad about SA, create it, to make the DA feel good. That's the DA for you. Pathetic

The truth hurts

John Steenhuisen is not fit to comment on matric pass rate classof2020 MatricResults2020

I’ve been waiting for that. DA every year: ‘The real pass rate is ....’ 😂😂😂

how did they calculate this? you guys are worse than maimane😂😂

That will have to mean Umalusi equally approved a lie

Does the DA not get tired of this nonsense

Haibo I didn't believe this🤔🤔

What's up with the DA, since when have they ever presided over the national matric examination to come with this ridiculous claims?

The MYANC has messed up both health and education

Ministry of education has the powers either to decrease or increase the pass rate
