President Cyril Ramaphosa has congratulated the matric class of 2018 for keeping the pass rate above 70%.
On Thursday evening Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga announced that the overall 2018 pass rate, with progressed pupils included, stands at 78.2%. This was a 3.1 percentage point improvement from the 75.1% achieved in 2017.
When progressed pupils are excluded, the overall pass rate stands at 79.4%. This is a 2.9 percentage point increase from the 76.5% achieved in 2017.
“As South Africans, we can all take pride in the dedication shown by learners and educators. Together, they have presented our nation with another cohort of young people whose life chances have been significantly enhanced, and whose success in basic education is indeed reversing the damage inflicted on generations of South Africans who were deprived of quality education under apartheid,” said Ramaphosa.
The total number of candidates who registered for the November 2018 NSC examinations was 790 843, comprising 624 733 full-time candidates and 176 110 part-time candidates. About 46.2% of these candidates were 16 to 20-year-old females; and 34% of 16 to 20-year-old males.
“Also, important to note, is the fact that 8.8% of the girls and 10.6% of the boys who sat for the 2018 NSC examination were 21-26 years of age – a clear indication of multiple attempts at achieving a National Senior Certificate,” Motshekga said.
In terms of a breakdown of provinces, Gauteng led the pack with the highest pass rate for 2018 at 87.9%, followed by Free State with 87.5%, Western Cape 81.5%, North West 81.1%, Mpumalanga 79%, KwaZulu-Natal 76.2%, Northern Cape 73.3% Eastern Cape 70.6% and the lowest performing province was Limpopo with 69.4%.
Ramaphosa said the class of 2018 was the fourth largest group in the history of basic education to register for an NSC examination. He said this illustrated the impact of government’s support to poor pupils and their families.
“This support spans pro-poor funding of schools; the provision of nutritious meals on a daily basis; and the provision of scholar transport to deserving learners on daily basis.
“These interventions have led to increased levels of retention of learners and enabled their success in the National Senior Certificate examinations,” the president said.
Ramaphosa also encouraged pupils who did not pass to make use of “second chance” programmes.
Government support for pupils
The class of 2018 had the highest number of progressed pupils. These are candidates who were selected based on strict preconditions for progression.
Motshekga said the pupil progression policy encouraged provinces to progress or condone over-aged pupils who have repeated Grade 11 more than once and give them extra support to write all seven subjects of the 2018 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations.
Progressed pupils were given the opportunity to write part of the 2018 NSC examinations in November 2018, and the rest will write in June 2019.
“The support provided to progressed learners by provinces is important, particularly for learners who come from poorer communities,” she said.
For the class of 2018, there were 128 634 registered progressed pupils, of which 33 412 wrote the requisite seven subjects, while the rest wrote some of their exams last year and will continue this year.
Of the progressed pupils who had finished their exams, 20 122 passed. Of these, 2 676 obtained bachelor passes, 8 685 obtained diploma passes, 8 739 obtained higher certificate while 10 obtained NSC passes.
Cape Town – There have been a few question marks hovering over Aiden Markram lately, on both the ODI and Test stages.
After a cracking start to his Test career that saw him reach 1 000 runs in just 10 matches, Markram hit somewhat of a wobble in 2018 when he averaged 33.6 in the format.
When one considers that the Proteas played the bulk of their 2018 Tests at home on difficult batting wickets and that they also toured Sri Lanka, that may not seem a terrible return.
Instead, the worry has centred around his inability to capitalise on starts, particularly in the shorter format where he still averages just 25.43.
Markram is considered the front-runner to bat at No 3 at this year’s World Cup in England, so the Proteas brains trust desperately need him to find the kind of form that matches the hype that has accompanied the player since the very beginning of his international career.
At Newlands on Thursday, the 24-year-old gave a timely reminder of exactly why he is rated so highly.
His knock of 78 included 14 sweetly struck boundaries and a six, and it came off just 96 balls.
In a little more than two hours at the crease, Markram went a long way towards taking the game away from Pakistan.
He pounced on anything short, drove beautifully when the ball was overpitched and scored all around the wicket.
As the cricket gods would have it, Markram was out bowled on the final ball of the day thanks to a delivery from part-time seamer Shan Masood that stayed unkindly low.
“I’m sure he’ll be gutted,” Markram’s team-mate Dale Steyn said after the first day’s play.
“You want to get through the day and come out tomorrow and get another 100. He’s done his job today. It was a pretty good knock and he can be very pleased with his performance.
“When somebody is batting like that it lifts the changeroom and you start thinking that there are a lot of runs to be had.
“Pakistan have got a good bowling line-up and some guys who can really test our techniques and when someone like Aiden bats like that it gives us the faith that we can get through it and score big.”
The Proteas, thanks largely to Markram, are now just 54 runs behind Pakistan with eight first innings wickets remaining.
Hashim Amla, meanwhile, is looking steady at the other end on 24* and he is likely to be joined by Theunis de Bruyn when play gets underway again on Friday morning.
While 59-year-old Cobie Rossouw’s son was fighting a fire that has engulfed the Overstrand area, his mother was at her home, complaining of a tight chest, according to Netwerk24.
Shortly after telling a friend who was visiting that she was struggling to breathe, Rossouw was dead.
Her daughter-in-law, Carla, told News24’s sister publication that the family was unsure of what the exact cause of Rossouw’s death was, but it is suspected that she died of smoke inhalation.
At the time of her death, Rossouw’s son, Louis, who is a volunteer firefighter, was helping to fight the blaze.
Earlier on Thursday, Overstrand fire services and disaster management chief Lester Smith confirmed one death to News24.
“Yes, one confirmed dead and SAPS and forensics will determine the cause,” Smith told News24.
Police also later confirmed the death.
“This office can confirm that a 59-year-old woman who stayed in Elizabeth Road, Pringle Bay, passed away this morning at about 01:20,” Captain FC van Wyk told News24.
“A post-mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death. An inquest case was registered for further investigation.”
Man arrested for arson
Netwerk24 reported that three people were treated for smoke inhalation at the Mediclinic in Hermanus.
A man is expected to appear in court on Monday, January 7, following his arrest on Thursday.
It is alleged that he lit a flare on New Year’s Eve, sparking the blaze.
Fires have affected areas close to Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay, Hangklip and Rooi Els.
According to police, the 34-year-old man is facing charges of contravening the Nature Conservation Act – a charge more serious than arson.
“We arrested the suspect for the fires. We’ve got witnesses also. We locked the suspect [up] at Kleinmond police station,” Captain Harold Nqwenani told News24.
Working on Fire tweeted on Thursday that the fire was not yet under control, but homes were still not in any danger.
