Gauteng matric pass rate 'needs to improve'
Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane has acknowledged that the province has to roll up its sleeves to assist non-performing schools.
Chiloane spoke to Jacaranda FM News on the sidelines of the bursary awarding event hosted at Vodacom Headquarters in Midrand on Sunday.
This comes after Premier Panyaza Lesufi on Friday reprimanded Chiloane for failing to achieve a 90% pass rate.
The province achieved an 85.4% pass rate, which Chiloane lauded as an improvement from the previous year.
Gauteng, along with the Free State and KwaZulu-Natal, has been announced as one of the three best-performing provinces.
Chiloane said measures are put in place to ensure that all schools are performing well.
"We need to improve, we cant continue doing the same thing expecting different results. We have to do things differently; we have to analyse our results.
"But Gauteng has always been a high preforming system.
"We have been up there consistently for a very long time, and we have maintained it. We will pick up," he said.
