BOSA CALLS FOR A 50% PASS MARK

While matriculants celebrate their impressive pass rates, BOSA leader Mmusi Maimane has called on the government to increase the pass mark to 50%.

The party has even started a petition to support its plea.

“A pass should be 50%. This means that the certificate pass should be 6 subjects at 50%. A diploma pass should be 6 subjects at 60%. A bachelor’s pass should be 6 subjects at 70%,” he wrote on X.

In the petition, the party stated:

“We call on Minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube, to commit to scrapping this low standard and increasing the matric pass mark to 50%.

We must equip our young people to compete and win in the global economy. And they can, with quality education. This begins by upping the matric pass mark.”
