The Independent Examinations Board (IEB) celebrated a pass rate of 98.07 per cent and recognised some of the top-performing IEB schools in the country.
In a statement, the board said that 88.42 per cent of learners obtained a bachelor’s degree pass, 8.14 per cent of learners obtained a diploma pass and 1.51 per cent of learners obtained a higher certificate level pass.
Anne Oberholzer, CEO of the Independent Examinations Board said, “It is interesting to note that the hard lockdown had differing impacts across schools within the IEB. Some schools were able to make a smooth transition to online teaching and learning as they had the resources available and in fact, had already been using them in the normal course of events. Their teachers were experienced in this mode of delivery, as were their learners who had access to devices and stable internet connectivity.”
Here are some of the top achieving IEB schools in the Joburg North where learners achieved within the top five per cent in six or more subjects as well as received a level seven distinction in life orientation.
