Curro Hermanus celebrates excellent matric results

After last year’s academic challenges, Curro Hermanus is proud to congratulate its Class of 2020 on a 100% matric pass rate, following the release of the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exam results on 19 February. A total of 92% of Curro Hermanus learners qualified for university studies (Bachelor's Degree Pass).

“Our learners’ 100% IEB pass rate is truly an extraordinary achievement taking into account the immense pressure they were under as a result of Covid-19,” says Andries Greyling, Curro Holdings CEO. “Our 2020 matrics have certainly outdone themselves.”

The class average for Curro Hermanus’s 2020 matrics was an impressive 70.3% and the group averaged 2.1 distinctions per learner. Out of a class of 26, six learners achieved an A aggregate and eight learners a B aggregate.

“We are extremely proud of our Class of 2020 for showing grit and perseverance during a tough year which has tested them in more ways than just academically,” comments Kobus Vermeulen, Executive Head of Curro Hermanus. “Despite a year full of challenges, quality learning continued and I am gobsmacked by these truly excellent results.”
