South Africa's education system has reached a historic milestone with the release of the latest National Senior Certificate NSC results, achieving a record 88 pass rate for 2025, an increase of 0.7 from the previous year and the highest in the country's history.
Releasing the results on Monday in Johannesburg, Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube said this was the largest class in history to sit down for Matric results.
Gwarube emphasised the importance of these results as a testament to progress in national unity, economic growth, and social mobility, while commending the contributions of former education ministers, families, teachers and communities nationwide.
