Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - North West retained its fourth place in the top performing provinces with an improvement from the class of 2023 by 5.9%.
However, the DA is concerned by the decline in the uptake of gateway subjects, specifically physical sciences, accounting, and mathematics. “We are encouraged by the announcement by Education Minister, Siviwe Gwarube, that she will prioritise efforts towards improving early childhood education and foundational phase support which will capacitate young learners with the language and numeracy skills required for these subjects in later grades, which will improve overall academic performance,’’ said DA spokesperson, CJ Steyl.
