Matriculant with 97% average shares her secrets

Image
Scoring a neat 97% aggregate in the final matric exams placed Christine, who just graduated from Hoërskool De Kuilen in Kuilsrivier, Cape Town, in the second position in South Africa (quintile 5) for matric 2016. Let's first pore over her marks: English Home Language: 99% Afrikaans Huistaal: 96% Mathematics: 98% Information technology: 98% Life sciences: 96% Physical sciences: 95% Life orientation: 99% No surprise then that she was invited to the prestigious prize-giving event at Vodacom World where minister Angie Motshekga announced the matric results for 2016.

Often, you even hear people saying, "Agh, you only need 30% to pass." This is misleading and simply not true, because the pass requirements aren't as simple as you may think. As a matric student, you need to take at least 7 subjects and at the very least, you need to pass your home language at a minimum of 40%, two other subjects at 40% as well, and three others at 30%, in order to obtain a higher certificate pass. Thus, as Elijah Mhlanga, a spokesman for the Department of Basic Education explains, “If the learner does not satisfy the minimum subject requirements, he will not be awarded with the [National Senior Certificate], even though he may have attained an exceptionally high mark in one or two of...
