The class of 2025 has achieved an overall pass rate of 88 for the National Senior Certificate NSC examinations, with KwaZulu-Natal being the top province.
This is a slight improvement from the 2024 cohort, which achieved 87.3, and 82.9 in 2023.
Announcing the results in Johannesburg on Monday, basic education minister Siviwe Gwarube said: This was the largest class in history to sit for the final results. We are reaching more pupils in grade 12. The story of this cohort begins in 2014, a story of resilience, including having gone through Covid-19.
