SCHOOL’S REPORT <strong>2012</strong> NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (<strong>NSC</strong>) EXAMINATION<br />

Figure 1 shows that learners achieve at the adequate level in Language for all grades at the Foundation<br />

phase. The figure shows that in Mathematics learners achieve at the substantial level (69%) in<br />

Grade 1 and at adequate level (58%) in Grade 2. The trend indicates that learner performance in<br />

Mathematics declines from Grade 1 to Grade 3. It is also evident that learners in Grades 1 performed<br />

better in Mathematics than in Language while the performance in Grade 3 is better in Language than<br />

in Mathematics.<br />

Figure 2 shows the performance of Grades 4, 5, 6 and 9 learners in Home Language, First Additional<br />

Language and Mathematics in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Figure 2: Performance in Grades 4, 5, 6 and 9: <strong>2012</strong><br />

It emerges in Figure 2 that learners who wrote Home Language (HL) performed better in all grades<br />

than learners who wrote First Additional Language (FAL). There seems to be a slight difference in the<br />

performance average percentages from grade to grade and the highest scores (41% and 35% for HL<br />

and FAL respectively) are found in Grade 6. Contrary to the performance in Language, the average<br />

percentages in Mathematics declined from 39% in Grade 4 to 12% in Grade 9.<br />
