SCHOOL’S REPORT 2012 NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (NSC) EXAMINATION
5.5 Learners Who Performed At 50% and Higher
Figure 8 shows the percentage of learners who obtained 50% and above in Mathematics in Grades
1-6 and 9.
Figure 8: Learners who performed at 50% and higher: Mathematics
Figure 8 illustrates that it is only in Grades 1 and 2 where more than 40% learners performed at or
higher than the adequate achievement level. The pattern indicates that the number of learners, who
perform at adequate achievement level or above, decrease from Grade 1 (79%) to Grade 6 (12%). It
appears therefore that learners at the Intermediate Phase achieve lower in Mathematics than at the
Foundation phase. The learners at the Senior Phase showed the worst scenario in the GET band as
only 2% of the learners managed to perform at the adequate achievement level or higher.
