Article: Zuma comforts failed matrics

President Jacob Zuma on Thursday congratulated the matrics who passed, and urged those who failed not to give up hope.

The improvement in the national pass rate from 70.2 percent in 2011 to 73.9 percent was "outstanding", he said in a statement issued by the presidency.
 
Yeah guys, don't give up hope.

You president is a complete and utter blithering idiot who couldn't get passed Std 2 (Grade 4 to you newage children), and look how far he got. Knowledge is a western colonialist imperial tendency, you don't need it.
 
Zuma: Fear not becauzse I've been there, done that and got my ANC T-Shirt.

Boere matriek: Doing Grade 6 two times makes him a successful Grade 12'er.
 
Education is a white colonialist thing anyway. It's not the African way.
 
Sad thing is that those that actually passed... most of them still wont be getting a job anyway. Matric means nothing.
 
Maybe next year 20% will be the pass mark and we will see 75%.

The next "advance" could be the abolition of exams altogether.

A simple requirement that pupils attend a minimum of 20% of the year's classes to earn Matric might improve Angie's figures.
 
Eish, don't worry, be happy! And maybe you'll get those textbooks this year...maybe...

Of course apartheid will most likely rear its ugly head and ruin it for everyone - again.

Some will still fail.
 
Instead of making fun of this it should be scaring everyone sh###less.

These kids are unemployable insofar as any job which requires some skills is concerned. This means massive oversupply of unskilled workers, the vast majority who will be sitting around with nothing to do. Guess how a fair number of them will end up? Smoked up, jacking cars, invading homes, etc.
