The IFP took note of the release of the 2024 matric results this evening, which marks a pivotal moment in the history of our country, with South Africa recording the highest matric pass rate, since the dawn of our democracy.
Moreover, the country also recorded the highest bachelors pass rate, ever.
This is indeed an incredible feat for our country.
We take this opportunity to congratulate all learners, their parents, teachers and SGBs.
The class of 2024 succeeded despite the odds that were stacked against them.
They had just started their high-school career, when the Coronavirus Pandemic hit the world. Bringing the country, and their education to a halt.
As many had to learn from home without the help of their teachers and without the basic necessities needed to support them on their learning journey.
Yet despite this, the class of 2024 has just become the best performing matric class in the history of a democratic SA, with an impressive 87,9% pass rate.
The IFP would also like to congratulate the province of KwaZulu-Natal, under the leadership of the IFP’s Premier, Hon. Thami Ntuli, for achieving the highest number of bachelor passes, and for achieving the highest number of distinctions in the country.
We would also like to congratulate, the uMkhanyakude District for being the best performing district in KwaZulu-Natal.
The class of 2024 has shown a tremendous sense of resilience, dedication and bravery. We wish them all the best as they venture out into the world, in pursuit of their career ambitious and dreams.
To those who have not achieved the desired results: do not lose hope but, take this as opportunity to restart.
To all the successful learners, you are the nation’s future. We are proud of you, we believe in you and we support you.
