Education Dept Blamed For 6.4 Matric Pass Rate At An Ec School

Parents and teachers of Langkloof Secondary School in Misgund in the Eastern Cape have given the provincial Department of Education until the end of March to rectify the myriad of challenges the school is facing.

This after the provincial department met with the school and parents because of its disappointing pass rate.

Only seven of the 109 matric learners passed the 2024 National Senior Certificate exams.

Lack of teachers, resources, and transport were cited for this very poor pass rate at the school. The 6.4 pass rate was the second worst in the country.

On top of this, the school faces major water and sanitation issues.
