The 2016 Matric Results season is in full swing with just two days before the National Senior Certificate (or public school) results are fully released to the public.

There are a number of activities lined up for the next few days, including the big day on Thursday, when pupils will know whether or not they made it.

Live announcement by Minister of Education

Tomorrow, Minister of Education, Angie Motshekga, will announce the 2016 overall matric pass rate across the country, as well as highlight the pass rate from each province.

The 2015 pass rate was 70.7%, down 5.1% from 75.8% in 2014. We’ve compiled a map of every school in the country based on their passrates from the last three years, which you can find here.

Preceding this announcement will be a breakfast ceremony hosted to recognise the country’s top performing pupils.

The pass rate announcement will be broadcast live and you can catch it on either of the following channels:

SABC: SABC 1, Channel 404 on DStv, SABC News Online livestream on YouTube.
