'Contrary to media reports that learners would finish school in grade 9, the GEC is not an exit certificate.'

“The proposal of the GEC and three-stream model is not new. The sector is now moving towards implementation, as this will not only fundamentally or radically change the education and training landscape, but will contribute immensely to the skills revolution desperately needed by the country,” she said.

“Currently, there is a high dropout rate before grade 12, peaking in grades 10 and 11 . Approximately a third of young people aged 15-24 are not in employment, education or training and 2-million of whom have not finished grade 12,” said deputy minister Dr Reginah Mhaule.
