Congratulations to the Minister and Department of Basic Education, all 9 provincial departments, the country's high schools, teachers and, most of all,  the students who wrote the NSC in 2022 and their parents! Well done! The Class of 2022's pass rate of 80.1%, is the second highest since 2019.

Minister Angie Motshekga released the Matric Results 2022. “We thank learners for putting in the hours and avoiding the well-beaten path to failure by being slack. We thank the teachers for recognising the spark of greatness in these learners and lighting a fire under. Success beckons success! Go forth and conquer!"
