It is not immediately clear if the drop in the Independent Examination Boardâs (IEB) 2020 National Senior Certificate (NSC) pass rate, is the impact of Covid-19. While the numbers are being crunched thereâs jubilation around the country as thousands of IEB learners celebrate their matric results.
IEB candidates achieved a 98.07% pass rate, slightly lower than last year s pass rate of 98.82%.
The IEB and the Independent Schools Association of Southern Africa (ISASA) said despite a challenging 2020, the achievements of their matriculants should be lauded. The board saw a decline in its schooling population with several learners withdrawing from the year and postpone completion of Grade 12 until 2021. It said 12 024 full-time and 1139 part-time candidates completed the matric exams.
