National Report on the Performance of IndividualSchools in the 2000 Senior Certificate Examinations Foreword At the beginning of last year I released the National Report on the Performance of Individual Schools in the 1999 Senior Certificate Examination. This was the first time that such as report had ever been released to the public in South Africa. My purpose in doing so was to provide the public with an overview of the performance of individual schools in the Senior Certificate examination. I also stated then that the focus in 2000 would be on the underperforming schools and “…to pull these schools out of this abysmal situation”. A 5% increase in the pass rate was targeted for 2000. Today I am particularly proud to release the National Report on the Performance of Individual Schools in the 2000 Senior Certificate Examination. We have not only improved the overall pass rate by 9%, but we have broken the cycle of underperformance in many schools. The number of schools that obtained a pass rate between 0% and 20% has decreased from 940 in 1999 to 499 in 2000. Once again I would like to congratulate those students who have succeeded as well as their teachers and principals who worked very hard to provide support and a good quality education to our learners, sometimes in very difficult circumstances. I also want to extend my gratitude to the parents and provincial and national departmental officials for their support and encouragement to ensure the success of the Senior Certificate examination. The challenge for 2001 will be to consolidate our gains and to improve even further. The pass rate is still far too low and further systematic improvement is an absolute necessity especially in such subjects as mathematics and science. In 2000 the 0 – 20% group was targeted for intervention at Grade 12 level. In 2001 the benchmark will be raised and the group targeted for special intervention will be extended to include those schools that achieved a pass rate of 21 – 30%. The nature of this initiative will be more sophisticated in that Grades 10 and 11 will be included with the Grade 12s for active intervention. Policy and strategies such as whole-school development, systemic evaluation and human resource development will also provide more support. This report lists all the schools in the country, province by province, and according to the region, district or circuit in which they were located. For each region, district or circuit the schools are listed in rank order based on their pass rate. The rank order is listed in frequency intervals of 20%, i.e. 0 – 19,99%; 20 – 39,99%; 40 – 59,99%; 60 – 79,99% and 80 – 100%. Schools that have attained 0% and 100% pass rates are also listed by province. For purposes of comparison readers will find that for each school the pass rates in 1999 and 2000 have been indicated as well as the specific school’s pass percentage. To identify a school, the reader needs first to ascertain the province and then the region, district or circuit in which the school is located. The order of the provinces is as follows: § Eastern Cape § Free State § Gauteng § KwaZulu-Natal § Mpumalanga § Northern Cape § Northern Province § North West § Western Cape The region, district or circuit in each province as well as the schools within a particular frequency interval are listed in alphabetical order. Active involvement by most provincial authorities has had dramatic effects in the performance of many schools. Therefore, the real cause for national celebration is the way many schools have moved from below 40% to 60% and above. This therefore justifies the inauguration of the Most Improved Schools’ Award which will be announced in February. Whether we like it or not, school results in the National Senior certificate are seen by parents and politicians (and by newspaper editors) as the most important indicator of school performance. But we must remember that there is more to schooling examination results. In our transition from apartheid, the values schools impart to pupils, the recognition of diversity, the development and encouragement of non-racism and non- sexism in the context of a search for national identity are just as important. All schools – public and independent – should be actively involved in this grand venture. Professor Kader Asmal, MP Minister of Education Contents 1.
