THE Class of 2020 and their teachers need to be congratulated on the outstanding performance of the 76.2% pass rate they have achieved.
This is according to education experts who said that under the circumstances brought about by the pandemic the 5.1% drop was far less than what was expected.
University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Professor Labby Ramrathan said: “I am a bit surprised that it fell by just over 5%, taking into consideration the extent to which learners had to do self-learning, the opportunities to study in overcrowded homes, lack of adequate access to learning infrastructure and lesser number of school days.”
