PRISONERS across the country achieved an overall pass rate of 94.4%, surpassing the national average of 88% for the National Senior Certificate.
Last year, 180 learners from 18 schools sat for the National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations. The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) hosted the NSC results at Goodwood Prison on Monday, and Minister Dr Pieter Groenewald said it has 19 registered schools offering Further Education and Training (Grade 10 to 12).
Fifteen schools achieved a 100% pass rate, an improvement from 13 schools in 2024. A total of 132 distinctions were earned.
Usethubeni in Durban-Westville (KwaZulu-Natal) and Baviaanspoort (Gauteng Region) have maintained a 100% pass rate for the past 10 years.
