Class of 2023 | Free State retains top spot

Free State Education MEC Makalo Mohale says they're very happy to have been able to maintain their number one spot as the top-performing province in terms of matric results. The Free State is the leading province at 89 per cent, an increase of 0.5% from 2022. KwaZulu-Natal, which is the third best-improved province, achieved 86.4% while the Gauteng pass rate was at 85-point-4 per cent.
