2010 Education Performance Report - Where to From Here? At the Moment Journalist and Politicians Seem to Be Driving the Debate and It Is Our Opinion That This Problem is Way More Complex to be Resolved by Piecemeal Commentary! The 2009 matric results sparked calls of concern all round as the national pass rate fell further to just over 60 percent. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga said she had "sleepless nights and agonised" over the results, which were 1.8 percent down from 2008, while political parties said four out of ten students failing the final exam confirmed a crisis in education.The minister blamed poor teaching and school management, but University of the Western Cape Rector Brian O'Connell said the problem was that pupils had very little interest in learning.
O'Connell said the results were not surprising as nothing dramatic had happened in education to reverse the downward trend in matric results in recent years.
