Amazing results achieved by schools trained by BCF

10 January 2020

On Wednesday the 2019 matriculation results were released in South Africa.

Previously under-performing public schools whose principals had attended the SA Schools Centre of Excellence Programme achieved as follows:

52% of schools enjoyed over 70% of their learners gaining a Bachelor or Diploma pass. (In South Africa a Bachelors pass enables university admission and a Diploma pass provides admission to a technical university). This is a big deal!

51% of the schools enjoyed over 90% of learners gaining a National Senior Certificate (NSC) pass.  This is also a significant achievement.

12% of the schools enjoyed 100% of their learners gaining a NSC pass.  Another big deal!

In the Free State Province 90% of learners gained a NSC while 74% of those who wrote obtained a Bachelor or Diploma pass.

Learners in the Northern and Eastern Cape provinces also achieved significantly higher results.

The percentage of learners gaining a NSC and a Bachelor or Diploma pass in the Eastern and Northern Cape Provinces increased dramatically.

The above achievements deserve immense praise as 96% of the schools trained in the Free State, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape are situated in rural areas or townships.
