Cape Town – President Cyril Ramaphosa has commended the Matric Class of 2021 on the success achieved in a challenging environment worsened by Covid-19.
The 2021 National Senior Certificate (NSC) pass rate is 76,4%, slightly higher by 2% compared to last year’s results.
“We applaud the multiple successes and improvements recorded by learners during the second year of challenges presented by Covid-19.
“Equally commendable is the support given to learners by educators and parents who made sacrifices of their own and placed the interests of learners ahead of their own concerns.
“This is a moment for celebration for learners who have passed and a moment for other learners to return to their desks and make another effort to advance their education and improve their quality of life into the future,” Ramaphosa said in a statement.
