Matric results 2024

The Matric Class of 2024 has achieved an overall pass rate of 87.3%, making it the highest matric pass rate in the history of South Africa.

“I am proud to announce that in 2024, 615 429 learners passed the National Senior Certificate (NSC) – more than any other time in our history. South Africa’s national pass rate for the 2024 National Senior Certificate has therefore increased from 82.9% in 2023 to 87.3%,” Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube said on Monday.

Addressing the announcement of the 2024 NSC results in Johannesburg, Gwarube said this was the highest matric pass rate in the history of the country and should be a moment of great pride and celebration for all.

Nearly half of the learners who wrote the NSC examinations received a Bachelor pass.

"The 2024 matric results are cause for celebration, with a record-breaking 87.3% pass rate - a significant milestone for South Africa's education system. More importantly, the Bachelor pass rate has surged to 47.8%, a substantial increase compared to the previous year. This progress is encouraging as it highlights that more students are now prepared to pursue higher education and contribute meaningfully to the country's skilled workforce," comments Daniel Mashilo, Senior Statistician at JET.

All nine provinces achieved a pass rate above 80% ranging from 84.2% in the Northern Cape to 91% in the Free State. Furthermore, no district scored below 75%: All but two districts achieved pass rates above 80% with the remaining two achieving above 75%.
