Matric pass rate edges up
Polokwane Observer
|January 15, 2026
Limpopo's 2025 National Senior Certificate Examination results showed a modest improvement, with the provincial pass rate increasing by 1.05% from 2024 to 86.1%, placing renewed focus on both academic progress and lingering concerns within the education system.
Die Onderwysdepartement het die uitslag beskryf as verdere bewys dat die provinsie in die regte rigting beweeg onder sy "Limpopo on the rise"-veldtog, wat verlede jaar bekendgestel is ná etlike jare van swakker uitslae.
Al 10 distrikte het slaagsyfers bo 80% aangeteken, met Mogalakwena wat voorloop met 90.9% uit 5 197 kandidate. Capricorn North het in die tweede plek gevolg met 87.9% uit 8 785 kandidate, nou gevolg deur Mopani-Wes met 87.8% uit 9 695 kandidate.
Pietersburg-distrik is derde in Capricorn-Suid, terwyl Malamulele-Sentraal in Vhembe-Oos as die top presterende distrik in die provinsie uitgestaan het.
