After almost three months of anxious delay, the IEB have released the 2020 matric results. Considering what has been, and we all know this, one of the most challenging years for schools, not only in this country, but indeed across the globe, we were waiting with heightened anxiety for the release of the matric results.
We are exceptionally proud of top achievers who have overcome immense challenges during the 2020 academic year to be rewarded with most pleasing results.
Congratulations to Thato Mathopa, Kalin Ruder our top two achievers as well as Motlatso Mahapa, Tdvaka Mhlanga and Ayaan Gangat
The 2020 academic calendar must be seen in the context of a disrupted and incomplete academic year, where both teachers and pupils had to make a transition into online teaching and learning, whilst in a strict lock down condition with limited access to resources and little possibility of training for this, essentially losing almost three months of teaching time.
Consequently, the efforts of the academic staff to deliver a teaching and learning program in the most unforgiving circumstances must not go unnoticed and must be applauded for going the extra mile for our students. Our teachers, having now become proficient in contemporary methods of teaching, are fully prepared should we be presented with a repeat of 2020 and can instantly transition into a powerful remote teaching and learning school. Furthermore, our current Matric class has grown from the experience of the previous year and are fully motivated and understanding of and prepared for the huge challenge that this year presents.
