Last night, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga announced that the class of 2015 achieved a pass rate of 70.7 percent, that’s a five percent drop compared to the previous year.
The department has set up a 24-hour hot line that parents and matriculants can call if they need help processing potentially disappointing results today.
Social Development spokesperson Lumka Oliphant said the hotline allows parents and matrics to seek help.
“They can phone at any time. We’ve got social workers on standby that they can speak to, they don’t even have to have airtime, don’t even have to tell us where they are. We’re able to even locate where they are in case some of them need assistance quickly.”
