Thousands of Free State grade 12 learners will on Friday 11 October 2019 take a pledge and make a commitment that they will not take part in any irregularities during the final examination.


The FS MEC for Education, TateMakgoe, is also set to address the students at the pledging ceremony held at the Teto Secondary School, in Thabong in Welkom. This as matriculants across the country are approaching the final examination period from October and November. The signing ceremony is being held every year by Makgoe and his department with the hopes of setting the stage for learners in the province.

The MEC and Provincial Government will seek to reclaim or further assert its dominance with the highest matric pass rate across the country. The province held the number one spot in the country for two consecutive years. It achieved a 93% matric pass rate in 2016 and an 86% pass rate in 2017. But in 2018, it slipped down to position two in the country, achieving 87.5%, which is still a 1.5% increase from the previous year. Gauteng had the highest pass rate with 87.9%.

Makgoe previously told OFM News that they are expecting a 100% pass rate from the majority of schools in the province.
