SCHOOL’S REPORT <strong>2012</strong> NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (<strong>NSC</strong>) EXAMINATION<br />
Geography<br />
Geography is one of the subjects in which the province improved both qualitatively and quantitatively.<br />
The subject was part of the common testing programme and it is one of the critical science subjects<br />
offered by candidates in Kwa Zulu Natal since 2008. Figure 6 below compares the pass percentage<br />
between 2011 and <strong>2012</strong> in Geography as well as the quality of passes. In 2011 the pass percentage<br />
in Geography was 73.7% and in <strong>2012</strong> it is 75.9%. This is an increase of 2.2% from the 2011 pass<br />
percentage. The graph shows that the quality of passes improved in <strong>2012</strong> when compared with that<br />
of 2011. In 2011 the province had 49.0% of candidates who passed with 40% and above and in<br />
<strong>2012</strong> this percentage increased by 0.6% giving 49.6%. The improvement in the quality of passes in<br />
Geography shows that provincial interventions successfully improved the passes numerically and<br />
qualitatively.<br />
