‘Best in province’ Tate MEC has no excuse for province losing number 1 position
} Sidwell Guduka TATE MAKGOE, MEC for Education in the Free State, hosted a well-done function for the top 100 matric learners in the province. Speaking during the press conference at the Central University of Technology, Free State, in
Bloemfontein last Tuesday, Makgoe said that the top 100 class of 2014 deserved their achievement because they had worked hard for it. “These are the best brains in our province. You’ve been working very hard and that’s why you are smiling today. You did extremely well. And you deserve
your achievement,” Makgoe told the top ten performers who attended the media briefing. The MEC said he had no excuses after the Free State had lost its title as the number-one province in terms of the matric results. “We’ve got no excuses. As a province we performed well in
the past three years. When we came in 2009, our percentage was at 69,4. But from 2012 until 2014 we have always been above 80%. From that period we have been counted as one of the best provinces that delivers education,” explained Makgoe. The Free State, which achieved an 82,8% pass rate, dropped to
third position after North-West (second position with 84,6%) and Gauteng (first position with 84,7%). In 2013, the Free State was the best province after having achieved an 87,4% pass rate. The province went down by 4,6% in last year’s matric results. ) For more stories, visit www.express-news.co.za.
