The 2020 matric class of Curro Langebaan achieved a 100% pass rate following the release of the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) exam results.
A total of 87,2% of Curro Langebaan learners qualified for university studies with a Bachelor’s Degree Pass.
Andries Greyling, Curro Holdings CEO, says the 100% IEB pass rate is truly an extraordinary achievement taking into account the immense pressure they were under as a result of Covid-19. “Our 2020 matrics have certainly outdone themselves.”
“We are extremely proud of our Class of 2020 for showing grit and perseverance during a year which has tested them in more ways than just academically. They have truly earned their success and we are excited to see what lies ahead for each of them,” says Eddie Conradie, Executive Head at Curro Langebaan.
Conradie believes it was Curro Langebaan’s quick transition to a remote learning strategy during the initial lockdown that helped secure 2020’s academic success. “The last academic year posed great uncertainty, but none of the year’s challenges were greater than a full move towards the virtual classroom in your final school year.”
He adds that the teachers and staff also need to be commended for the professional dedication shown towards the remote learning strategy. “Without everyone’s commitment and our parents unwavering support, we simply would not have been able to show this level of academic success.”
