88% of matrics passed in 2025. Just over half the class that started school got there

A pass rate only counts the learners who sit the exam. Track the class that started Grade 1 together in 2014, about 1.25 million children, and a harder number appears. Only around 778,000 of them sat matric as full-time candidates eleven years later. Build One South Africa followed that same cohort through and calculated a pass rate of 54.7%, not 88%. That gap, between the 88% and the 55%, is the gap we built CambriLearn to close.
