History<br />
History is one of the subjects in which the performance of learners improved between 2011 and <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
This improvement is attributed to focused interventions in the province which aimed at increasing<br />
the percentage of learners who pass History and the percentage of learners who pass at 40%<br />
and above. Figure 7 below is a graph that illustrates a comparison of pass percentages in History<br />
between 2011 and <strong>2012</strong>. The graph indicates that the pass percentage increased by 8.7% between<br />
2011 and <strong>2012</strong> with 80.9% of the registered candidates passing Economics in 2011 and 89.6% of<br />
the registered candidates passing the subject in <strong>2012</strong>. In <strong>2012</strong> there was also an improvement in<br />
the quality of passes in History. In 2011 the candidates who passed History at 40% and above were<br />
60%. In <strong>2012</strong> the percentage of registered candidates passing History at 40% and above increased<br />
