Peter Esterhuizen | Should we really celebrate matric results?

The DA says the national senior certificate pass rate is misleading, arguing that the real matric pass rate – calculated by including the number of pupils that dropped out before writing their final exams – is actually 54.6%.There is no question that the high dropout rate is exacerbating youth unemployment, which in the third quarter of 2022 reached 59.6%.

Calling equal education in South Africa a myth and wishful thinking, he predicts that, “educational equality by socioeconomic background will persist at current levels throughout the next generation”. In comparison, 270 516 national senior certificate pupils wrote maths in 2018, growing to only 276 241 in 2022.

The problem is not a lack of funding. South Africa spends around 6% of its GDP on education, which is comparable to other equivalent-sized economies. More and more schools, perhaps motivated by the desire for better results from maths literacy than core maths, are encouraging pupils to drop to maths literacy.In addition to addressing the high drop-out rate, we need to relook at our curriculum content to ensure that it is fit for purpose and equips pupils with the necessary skills for the job market of the future.
