The DA wishes to congratulate the matrics who wrote their Independent Examination Board (IEB) National Senior Certificate examinations on their outstanding pass rate of 98.42%.
Given the challenges of Covid-19 and the impact of the lockdowns on continuous quality education, the IEB matriculants should be incredibly proud of themselves.
More than 13 500 learners wrote the IEB exam in 2022, with 98.41% qualifying for higher education. 89.32% achieved a Bachelor's degree pass.
